intellectual flexing

When someone name-drops philosophical and theoretical heavyweights in casual conversation, or babbles at length about some obscure academic idea. A form of showing off one's supposed intelligence. Associated with the pseudo-intellectual and mansplaining types.

at a party
Person 1: "You know, that movie reminds me of something Kant says in the Analytic of the Sublime...'"
Person 2: "I'm just trying to have a good time tonight. I don't need to hear your intellectual flexing."

intellectual ebonics

When smart people deliberately talk in a manner the rest of us can't understand. Used by doctors, lawyers, politicians, and especially academics as a way to inflate their ego and make them feel superior to you.

"Hey man did you understand a single thing Eric Weinstein said?"

"Nah he's speaking in intellectual ebonics."

intellectual chew toy

1) Any concept or topic of discussion occurring primarily to satiate intellectual cravings.

2) Suggestive of any concept or topic of discussion that is excessively intellectual. Oftentimes not grounded in the practicalities of everyday life.

"Yea, I still remember some Immanuel Kant philosophy from school, but I don't such material useful. It's for professors, philosophers, and sophists. Kant's book is just one of many intellectual chew toys."

Intellectual Wanking

Engaging in an intellectual discussion that has little to do with the key facts of the conversation at hand. The biggest culprits are typically those in senior positions, particularly when they have not understood the facts and want to cover up their lack of knowledge.

You hear that crap CP was coming out with in the meeting? He loves his intellectual wanking !

Them: you mean "you're"
You: DON'T BE AN INTELLECTUAL BIGOT!!

Intellectual Skinhead

A foolish person who masquerades as a scientist or a intellectual. The common tactic of the intellectual skinhead is to use phony and erroneous "studies," to demonstrate the racial superiority of white people, while demonstrating the racial inferiority of non-white people.

Intellectual skinheads also like to conduct biased studies, which are really surveys, to demonstrate that black women are inherently uglier than other races. Anti-black woman racism at its finest. Most of these studies are biased and do not conform to the basic requirements of a scientific experiment.

These intellectual skinheads pretend to be conducting these inquiries just for the sake of science, but most of them are usually insecure, uattractive and stupid, even with a degree they're stupid.

In addition, they have small penises 99% of the time, this is the REAL reason that these intellectual skinheads take such an antagonistic attitude towards black females...sexual inferiority...

I just read an article about a biased and inaccurate study that says black women are 'objectively' the least attractive race, some intellectual skinhead with a small penis who couldn't get a black woman on his best day probably 'conducted' this experiment.
