Get the Intellectual Velocity mug.Related Words
The desire to appear more intelligent, to be viewed as an intellectual. Common among teenagers, especially high-schoolers.
Intellectualism is composed of three tiers:
The first tier can be split into two groups. One group consists of junior poets and psychologists, those who think the have the world 'figured out'. This group generally believes that they are under far more stress than the average student, thus giving them more experience than their peers. The second first-tier group is made up of honors students. These students feel that, as honors students, they should sound the part. Thus, they try to add large words to their vocabulary, and go out of their way to tell others about their latest 'intellectual' endeavors, such as reading a book or watching the History Channel.
The second tier consists of those who dislike the first first-tier group. Oftentimes, members of this group view poetry and 'psychology' as lame attempts to appear intelligent (which, in theory, is correct). However, the second tier also tries to take unpopular stances in arguments, knowing that they have nothing to lose. After all, if they lose the argument, they were arguing an impossible point of view and put up a valiant effort. In their favor, the second tier is, on a whole, smarter than the first first-tier group, but really beats the intellectual theory to death. Also, they fail to realize that there are very few children who think that they are smarter than others solely on the grounds that they deal with more stress.
There is a surprising amount of these people that post on UrbanDictionary.com.
And the third tier, I suppose, consists of those who think that they have the second tier figured out. I put myself into this group, but I can't really think of any others in it with me. I'm sure that there are others, but they aren't snooty enough to talk openly about it.

Get the intellectual servitude mug.It's hard to define this word. Basically a pseudo-intellectual is originally an average person who have the ability to absorb information but unable to do anything with it.
A pseudo-intellectual isn't exactly dumb, but he/she certainly isn't on par with a truly intelligent person.
A truly intelligent person understands "pattern", he doesn't need to read the newspaper on a daily basis to know what's happening around the globe, but rather he can accurately predict what would happen in a period of time. (This is exactly how people like Darwin was able to come up with Evolution, things come in pattern).
Characteristics of a pseudo-intellectual:
- Bragging about what college he is going to without giving a good legitimate reason. (Someone went to Cornell just to get a teaching degree)
- Using big words and foreign words in his/her writing or daily language in an un-necessary amount. (Someone who describes himself as a proponent of "independent citizens' movement")
- Inclined to join an Extremist Political Faction (Both right & left)
- See my 2nd point, except he/she lists a LARGE amount of bands/books/quotes in his biographies on his/her Facebook page.
- Being a Grammar Nazi (because they are too snobby and profound to understand what you've said when you left out the 's' at the end of a plural noun).
- Name is more important than inner quality (e.g. someone who claims Einstein as the Greatest scientist ever lived but doesn't know what he did.)
