Deadline Anthropologist

Share definition
A newspaper or magazine writer who creates inane articles about alleged dramatic changes in culture or society, even though the evidence is often flimsy generalties and select anecdotes.
Did you see that deadline anthropologist's article about American men now caring more about charity than acquiring personal wealth? Must be true because the pastor and kindergarten teacher quoted in the article said so.

Usually a social reject who must be banished to a far-off place for multiple years under the pretense of understanding how the marginalized people of the Earth live and think. Unfortunate groups that are forced to tolerate cultural anthropologists living in their midst usually send the village idiot to distract the anthropologist for as long as possible.
Cultural anthropologist speak: "Fed up with the banal and decrepit humdrum of American society, I took off for the remote lands of the Xanabu. They were overjoyed at my arrival and I have already taken down 100 pages of stories from the old blind man who greeted me. These are said to be sacred, ancient tales."

A store that sells ridiculously expensive pieces of junk clothing and claims that they are top of the line items. Just because the top says made in China and has embellishments of chinese rose blossoms on it does not mean it needs to be $200.00. The seams are even coming apart! Nowadays what isn't made in China anyway?
Kelsey:Wow look at that flower print dress in the window of Anthropologie. (We walk inside the store and look at it.)

Jennifer:Pretty but from what I can see by the stitching the company enjoys ripping people off.

Bryan: Yo nice sneakers! Can I rock them for a day or two?

John: I don't think so bro.

Bryan: You have all the coolest stuff, you are always on the cutting edge.

John: I guess I am what you would call a Cultural Anthropologist bro.
