pseudo-intellectualism

The practice of using sophisticated terms and/or concepts incorrectly or without thorough understanding of their intricate nuances and thus resulting in a flawed body of knowledge (i.e. erroneous beliefs). Typically people who partake in pseudo-intellectualism do so with authority and conviction as a result of some effort to understand the concepts and/or terms but lack the mental capacity to synthesize true knowledge from their efforts and thus typically do not know they are intellectually mistaken.
Yeah, that dude Phillip and I got into a political discussion and he started talking about how Sanders wants to subsidize everything and how Trump economic policies will increase the value of the dollar. He clearly doesn't even know what the word "subsidize" means, that there is a fine example of some pseudo-intellectualism.

intellectualization

Intellectualization is a defence mechanism where reasoning is used to block emotions.
Mary: Hey Harry, i know you cheated on me with your cousin!
Harry: Mary, that's impossible. First of all, as "you" know, i always wait 4 days and 47 hours between two sessions. Relying to that factor, your subconscious makes this stuff up because you can't look different at the situation, you're in your period time. So, shut the fuck up and go get me a beer. <humming>* Long live intellectualization!</humming>
