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 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."

pseudo-intellectual

Implying the false display intelligence, this is a term correctly applied to people who lie about their own intellectual background, claim to have studied matters they haven't, to have read books they haven't, et cetera.

A great majority of Internet users, however, are fond of using the term incorrectly to, often anti-intellectually, refer to those whose phraseology annoys them.

'Dude! Dude hey!'

'What is it, Dan?'

'Dude, that guy said a weird word. He is such a pseudo-intellectual.'

'You're a fucking idiot, Dan.'

facebook intellectual

closet intellectual

Someone who is smart in their head but finds it difficult to "come out"

I had the perfect comeback for what John said in the afternoon, I wish I wasn't such a closet intellectual.
