An "intellectual" whose writings are based on opinions (which any asshole could write), and not a substantial amount of scholarly research. Michael Eric Dyson's book: Is Bill Cosby Right? or has the Black Middle Class Lost Its Mind is a great example. What kind of title is that? He's not a scholar, he's what capitalism produces.
I'm about to get the new young jeezy, and michael eric dyson's book.
Oh yeah?, but isn't he like a scholar?
naw, man he's a bootleg intellectual.

A person who spends their free time wirting pointless letters and posting worthless comments in local newspapers, A person who watches daytime TV quiz shows such as Eggheads, The Chase and Pointless. He will always say how much more interteligent, he is, than the contestants on said shows. A person who thinks they know everything about anything, when really they don't. A person who reads the Socialist Worker newspaper and buys the Big Issue, to show his grassroots views when actually, he lives in a council house.
Joe thinks he could do better on Eggheads and claims to know everything. The man is full of shit Armchair intellectuals

Words that Americans who believes in Political Correctness use to describe people they consider are less educated, brain damaged, with inferior genetics or from any other culture they judge inferior.
I want to provide services to disadvantaged people here in Bariloche, Argentina as I do in Billings, Montana, USA but a local woman suggested it would be more appropriate for me to go to the Hospital and help folding bandages because people I was talking about would have the attitude that I am there just to laugh a them. I consider people with the attitude she described to be intellectually challenged. If the majority are of the victim mindset, I would not enjoy living in that area.

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."
"Nah he's speaking in intellectual ebonics."

Not a pseudo-intellectual in that they are actually pretty accomplished in their fields. However, their (often stupid and antagonistic) behaviors are driven by massive insecurities.
