book soldier

Origin probably military. A book soldier is a person caught up in details and procedures, but lacking in experience and insight. Typically used disparagingly, a book soldier typically is a bureaucrat or official of small import enforcing petty rules that the objects of his/her decision see as virtually meaningless. As a result of, or in compensation for, this focus on minute details, the book soldier secures his or her reputation by being, or described as being, head-smart not street-smart, or educated fool, or drone, lacking empathy and grace.
"Second Lieutenant Johnson" was the classic book soldier: He knew ROTC protocol but nothing about actual warfare, or how to handle a platoon for that matter. If he can't find it in the manual, he freaks out. That's why Sarge calls the shots."

"Jason is a sweet person in real life but at work, in Human Resources, he is a total book soldier. He told me once that one of the staff missed making Employee of the Month because of a two-minute discrepancy between the time clock and the sign-in sheet. I guess in a job like that, it pays to be anal, but fortunately that's not the Jason I usually see."

Book

Something that the bulk of smart and creative people (some of average intelligence as well) with 'actual' potential use. Reading books - fictional and non-fictional - as a hobby, has been slowly but surely returning ever since 2015 as it has been proven that readers - people who aren't part of the 'quick fix' culture - have a higher chance at being succesful in life. Many people who don't read are basically the little bitches who bitch about everything - including school, where you literally learn the basics of some important topics - and end up in the ditch or a cheap house downtown with a low pay and 2-3 kids. The reasons why not everyone is reading is simple; It's the quick fix culture's fault. Many simple-minded people fall victim to this 'quick-fix' culture.
Victim to the 'quick fix' culture (most likely a 'gangster' black guy or wannabe 'gangster' black guy) : Why are you reading a book, dawg?

Person of average intelligence who has managed to escape the 'quick-fix' culture: Because it's fun and calming yo. And books are , like, basically the hacksaw that frees you from the chains chaining you to the brick wall that is metaphorically the 'quick-fix' culture.

Victim to the 'quick fix' culture (most likely a 'gangster' black guy or wannabe 'gangster' black guy): Whah? Get a real hobby, ya bitch-ass.

Person of average intelligence who has managed to escape the 'quick-fix' culture: I knew you wouldn't understand it, bro. It's probably because black people like you have an average iq of 80, literally 15 points away from being borderline retarded.

Victim to the 'quick fix' culture (most likely a 'gangster' black guy or wannabe 'gangster' black guy): What? But you're black ya dumbass.

Person of average intelligence who has managed to escape the 'quick-fix' culture: Yea, and it took me quite some time to understand why people like books, but now I do.
