A person, usually but by no means always a man, who can be relied upon to hijack any topic of conversation to parade their own knowledge of the subject, however sketchy that might be.
Examples:
Person: This is a great sandwich, is there avocado in here?
Badger Expert: I know a bloke who imports avocados and he was saying that the harvest this year is very poor because of new water extraction rules (continues interminably)
Person: I heard David bought a boat now he has a new job
Badger Expert: I’ll tell you about owning a boat; my mate has two up on the East coast and he says the most interesting thing is (continues at length)
Person: There was a dead badger on the road outside my house this morning
Badger Expert: Badgers, is it now? I read a long blog by the fellow in charge of gassing badgers for the Environment Agency and the thing most people don’t realise is (continues, possibly with diagrams)

For God’s sake don’t mention beekeeping to Julia’s dad, he’s a noted badger expert

An exaggerated trust in "experts" to the detriment of one's own critical thinking; a neediness for "experts" to validate a course of action, else that action should be suspect; a dependence on "experts" that suggests a lack of confidence in oneself; a worldview that is over-reliant on "experts." "Expertists" affirm expertism and will likely ridicule those who reasonably question "experts."
Expertism characterized the Covid era, as gullible people unquestioningly followed ever-changing guidance from "experts."

Barry-'I do pride myself in my ways of playing the viol...'
John-'Not like that, you nerd'

You... Your defense... When people come at you for posting things that they don't like... Is that you don't understand how social media works... So... I mean, you've said it on several separate occasions... Like, you said 'I'm still trying to figure out social media' because it's like a mystery to you or something...
Hym "I mean, like a social media expert is like... The response to the words you said... You really don't understand things very well. Like, the words you said... Coincide with need for a social media expert... So... Do you not realize that? Honestly, I don't even think you don't understand social media. Think you're doing what you always do and are just making shit up because people usually just let you get away with it. Like... Yeah. But not me! I don't do that. So, yeah."
