Acronym: Intellectual Pretender Orating Derivatives.
A person, often a student, who has not developed any unique intellectualisms but will bombastically offer plagiarised arguments and opinions, or repeat verbatim any number of literary quotes or philosophies without any real understanding of them.
Much like the actual iPod media device, which plays back music or video that has been stored on it, but does not create new media by itself, an iPod in the human sense, stores information, but does not have the propensity for the creation of unique intellectual opinion. Could also be described as a Faux-losopher.

The scene from Good Will Hunting between Will and Clark in the Harvard bar is a great example of Clark being an iPod.
Will: Of course that's your contention. You're a first-year grad student; you just got finished reading some Marxian historian, Pete Garrison probably. You're gonna be convinced of that 'till next month when you get to James Lemon. Then you're going to be talking about how the economies of Virginia and Pennsylvania were entrepreneurial and capitalist way back in 1740. That's gonna last until next year; you're gonna be in here regurgitating Gordon Wood, talkin' about, you know, the pre-revolutionary utopia and the capital-forming effects of military mobilization...
Clark: Well, as a matter of fact, I won't, because Wood drastically underestimates the impact of social...
Will: See, the sad thing about a guy like you is... that you dropped 150 grand on a f***in' education you could have got for a dollar fifty in late charges at the public library!

Get the ipod mug.Something that hypocritical pricks on Urban Dictionary decide to criticize and say that they'll won't buy it to remain "non-conforming", yet buy it anyways in secret.
UD Poster - I bought a iPod, because I'm a slave to the Apple Corporation. Also I have a fetish for anything thats covered in a albino-white casing that demasculizes my otherwise tough-looking street clothes.

Get the ipod mug.I own the 60gig video Ipod.
Anyway it does suck in terms of w hat you can do. Itunes is pathetic,and if oyu actually buy fucking mp3's then you deserved whatever bankrupcy you had to file.. Geezjust download and install ipod linux then just download ymp3's for free, and yes you can still do it.
Ipod is only a mp3 player, and I would have to say it isn't the best.
Anyway does pisses me off that I can't add my damn anime on it unless I reformat it into a .mp4 which is inefficient as a media player...
.avi is a waaay better more efficient codec,
and also I'm black and I never lived near a suburb. My neighborhood is dangerous but hey so is life.
Anyway for all you suburban whites. Stop insulting us!!!
also yeah Ipod is over advertise and I hate the bastards who support Apple.. I don't care if they buy an Ipod as long as they don't clal a mp3 player an Ipod. Also I only have hatred for those who like Macintosh.
pisses me off... Seriously.

Get the iPod mug.A small music player designed by Apple, my opinion best thing ever made.If your smart you'll get Limewire and dowload your songs from there insted of paying 99 cents per song.Plus you would of gotten it about 6 months later when it was only 150 insted of 200 or 300 dollars like it was before.Plus you can get the 2 gig which holds 250 which is probably the most songs your ever gunna put on the damn thing
iPOD's are firiggen awesome...=
