armchair historian

Someone that clearly didn't do their research and jumps straight into historical debate. A person that parrots off "facts" they learned in their high school history class and pretends to know the thoughts, intentions and motives of historical figures. Someone who pretends to know history. These people typically think they are above everyone else intellectually just because they know a minute fact that has no application to the current conversation, as if it changes the whole picture.
Random person: "Why did Hitler lose to Stalin again?"
Armchair Historian: "Bro, like Hitler knew nothing about history. Napoleon invaded Russia and lost due to Russian winter. That means that Hitler was retarded because he invaded Russia and lost due to Russian winter."
Actual Historian: "Well that's simply not true, Germany was heavily outnumbered by the allies in WW2 and suffered constant attacks by British air on their infrastructure, making a total victory on the Eastern front nearly impossible. Not to mention Hitler didn't invade farther north than the Baltics. The Russians had even less supplies for their soldiers than the Germans did despite bombings on their infrastructure; the USSR didn't issue enough blankets or clothes for their soldiers on the front line to survive their own winter."
Armchair Historian: "B-b-but NAPOLEON! NO! NO. THAT CAN'T BE TRUE! RUSSIAN WINTER! COME ON! BELIEVE ME!!!!"

Historically

Right in the pasticles 😖
Hym "That's a thing I've done historically. And they are going down over time so for all you know I'm directly responsible. As a matter of fact, I take full credit. Good job me."

oral historian

A person who either researches the early beginnings of the practice of fellatio. or documents the quantity/quality of lips/tongue-pleasuring experienced/given by a certain person or group.
As much fooling around as Wee-wee Willie Wankie and Monica Blewinsky engaged in --- both with each other and separately with other folks in the D.C. area --- an oral historian could almost make an entire lifelong career out of putting down on paper the lurid/sordid details of the various trysts of just these two individuals alone!

Historical Footnotes

The discription of a fictional novels presence to real life events.

In the story's of Harry Potter for example:

Harry's train ride is an example of children on orphan trains in the united States being transferd from urban to rural places.
Other Historical Footnotes include:
Dumbledore's demeanor and diplomatic wisdom resembles that of Sir. Winston Churchill.

The story's also parrallel Cold War Themes of evil, power, threats, devestation and division. Like countries, people are conquerd, controlled and devoured by evil powers as represented by Ginny, saying that the heir of Slytherin "took me over." Because he is a warewolf, Lupin was denied employment and blacklisted like the McCarthy-era communists, and he acted like a World War II conspirator by remaining passive and justifying his silence. sirius Black could be misunderdtood and falsley acussed like "The man in the Iron Mask," exiled like nepoleon, traped like the princess in the tower or like a prisioner of war for example. These are just a few ideas that taugh me alot in writing.
