Distinguishing between a "nerd" crush and typical "crush". Characterized by love of their mind, independent of their body or physical attraction. Can refer to person of same gender or opposite sex. Term is platonic in nature. Admiration of their unattainable intellectual or academic skill/thought process/insight, to a level of raw mental magnetism. In context, meant as a true and genuine compliment and can be used between friends or colleagues.

Get the Intellectual Crush mug.by louche22 September 11, 2012
Get the pseudo-intellectual mug.A person or rather, the personality of a person, who likes to expose what people hides. One that carefully manages to analyze every meaning of someone's existence, exposing everything about him or her. It is composed with the words "Intellect" and "rape", this is because an intellectual rapist "rapes your mind", uncovering everything you have wether you like it or not.
In the Japanese visual novel "Umineko no Naku Koro Ni Chiru: Episode 5" we can find Furudo Erika as a perfect example as an Intellectual Rapist. She likes to solve riddle, meddle into other's affair and exposes everything they hide, not really caring about the effect this will have.
Normally, detectives fall in this category as they search for the truth, again exposing what others want to hide. For example, we can find even Sherlock Holmes as an intellectual rapist.

Dude #1: hey wanna go to the movies tomorrow night?
Dude #2: Nah, the cinema is so low-brow. I don't understand how so many people find aesthetic values in it. I'm going home to read. As Descartes said "cogito, ergo sum".
Dude #1: Yeah....OK.

Get the pseudo-intellectual mug.Randy always wants to talk about Plato. It seems like he doesn't know much about anything else (or Plato for that matter). He's such a quasi-intellectual.

Get the quasi-intellectual mug.When two people (especially egotistical smart people) flirt with each other using their intelligence to debate a scholarly issue.
An example of an instance of intellectual grabass would be:
Male professor: "Didn't you think Nietzsche's "Will to Power" was the most influencial work of its day?"
Female professor: "Heavens yes! Foucult, Sarte, and Camus would be utterly unispired without it."
