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.

interlectual

Sarcastic way of describing a person who seems to get all his or her knowledge from the Internet alone.

Joan is an interlectual---you'll always find her on the computer. I've never once seen her with a book in her hand!

Interjection

As Stated in Mad TV, it's a big word that you can't spell.

Interjection, it's a big word that you can'd spell. Cause there's too many kids in the classroom, and there's not enough books to go around. It's a Bitch when you gotta go to a public school.

pseudo-intellectual

The person who wrote the first defintion of the word is the epitome of what this word means.

The person's username indicates what a pseudo-intellectual that he or she is and the fact that he is gay and thirsty for wanting to be fucked so badly.

The Incellectual Dork Web

A few months ago, Eric Weinstein came up with the phrase 'Incellectual Dork Web' to describe this eclectic mix of people from Sam Harris to Ben Shapiro to Eric Weinstein to Jordan Petersen, who are figuring out ways to have the important and often dangerous conversations that are completely ignored by the mainstream.

"Meet the Renegades of the Incellectual Dork Web
An alliance of heretics is making an end run around the mainstream conversation. Should we be listening?"
"No."

Intellectual Smokestack

A wise and hyper-articulate intellectual with refined knowledge and understanding of the world who spends most of his time chain smoking.

The amount of knowledge is often directly correlated with the amount he smokes as he best shares his insights while he is smoking amongst a small crowd of fellow Intellectual Smokestacks.

Me: Duuuude I don't understand how metaphysics relates to this deconstructive analysis of New Comedy
Patrick: Man, just go out the benches in front of the dorm and ask the Intellectual Smokestacks
Me: Good advice they'll know!
