knowledge bowl

A question and answer game that started in 1976. It's basically a championship where "teams" of highschool students get points in written as well as oral rounds. They attempt to win at the state level and hope to move on to nationals. Knowledge bowl is for those who are "Knowledgeable"

Harvard Harvington III : "The quadratic formula you ask? But of course, -b plus or minus the square root of (b squared minus 4ac) over 2a"
Host: Ten points for Gryffindor! er, eh, Knowledge bowl!
John Hopkins: simply marvelous, oh and the 17th century Spanish novel published in two parts over a 10 year period? That would be Don Quiote by Cervantes.

knowledge fraud

One who claims they know a lot about a subject but in fact all they know is information they have read from a magazine, google or recycled from friends and has limited personal experience in the subject. A knowledge fraud often regards their "knowledge" higher than someone with experience in the subject and is typically egotistical. A knowledge fraud will sometimes try to dominate a conversation with someone that happens to be more experienced in the topic and will unwittingly embarass themselves and be caught out as a knowledge fraud. Sometimes responds to a question with "why dont you just google it"

"Hey Chris, haven't seen you in ages, i heard you are into turntablism"
"yeah i can scratch like a mofo"
"me too, i want one of those new innofade crossfaders for my mixer"

"no you want a vestax mixer, you dont want to mix analogue and digital with that"
"...no i want an innofade...do you even know what i'm talking about? your a knowledge fraud bro"

Knowledge Dropping

Like name dropping, except with knowledge. Sprinkling your conversation with tidbits of trivia in a pathetic attempt to impress your friends.

Sandy: Is everything OK?
John: Yes, and interesting use of that word. Did you know "OK" has its origins in the Choctaw Indian language?
Sandy: Knowledge dropping. You're such an ass.

Knowledge shopping

Person who uses others knowledge as there own for commercial purposes, without paying person or persons for knowledge accrued

John offered an interview to a candidate through a recruitment agency So that he could find out how to design a square, because he'd never designed a square before, and didn't want to get sacked by his boss for a lack of skills and knowledge he couldn't be bothered to update. So John knowledge shopped the skills from an undergraduate pretending he had a job on offer when he didn't. This practice is called knowledge shopping.
