The act of pretentiously explaining a subject one knows little or insufficiently about. This is typically committed in uniformed organizations such as the military, where commanders are more inclined to demonstrate the superiority of his own knowledge in desperation, to effect retention on his command legitimacy, where possibly inadequately qualified for.
Private Jim: Sir, Wouldn't carrying out this mission risk breaking the international law on conflict?
Warrant Officer Encik: acturry, the uniided nations since long long time ago since ancient rome allowed using shotguns since it was necessary to protect them from the nazis in the war
Private Jim: ...
Private John to Private Jim: Don't bother Jim, he's aristotling again
Private Jim: Knew it
Warrant Officer Encik was aristotling since he spoke confidently on a subject he knew little about, risking lying to protect his legitimacy of command over Private Jim. This is evident in how the U.N. came into existence in 1945, far after Ancient Rome had collapsed, and in how shotguns were only invented in the 19th Century, far after Ancient Rome had collapsed in 476 AD/CE, and most evidently in how the Nazis were engaged in war only in the 1940s, far after Ancient Rome siezed to exist in 476 AD/CE.

There lived a certain man in Sfakia long ago
He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow
Most people looked at him with terror and with fear
But to Xaniwtika chicks he was such a lovely dear

Get the arison mug.Title of infamous joke without a punchline. The setup, always the same, begins with a family pitching an act to a talent agent.

Get the Aristo-Cock mug.Perhaps the greatest philosopher of his time, and surely one the greatest philosophers of all time. Aristotle was alive in Greece from 384-322 B.C.
Aristotle is well remembered for his development of "logic." Do note that he did not (obviously) invent logic, however greatly influenced its progression.
His format on which he based his logic was used for centuries after his death -- and much is still echoed even today.
Specifically, Aristotle produced provocative arguments and commentaries centering around humanity and human functions. Among them: the singular lifestyle that, if adopted plurally, would yield true and sustained happiness to all -- forever. However, after hearing a lecture on the subject, you truly need not look any further than the utopias and dystopias illustrated throughout literature, such as in "The Giver" or "Brave New World." Aristotle's philosophy on 'true happiness,' perhaps original for its time, has become almost as common as a cliche' and just as easily passed off as "wishful thinking."
However, the beauty of logic is that it never actually needs to be congruent with realism.

Aristotle said:
"The individual, when isolated, is not self-sufficing, and therefore he is like a part in relation to the whole. But whoever is unable to live in society, or who has no need of it because he is sufficienct for himself, must be either a beast or a god."
