Academics

If more people thought it would they be correct or incorrect in thinking it? Would their account of reality be MORE or LESS concordant with objective reality?
Hym "Wow, you really refuse to take an accurate account of what's actually happening there, don't you? And you're doing it because I refuse to adopt a politically correct account of what happened with the mongoloid, aren't you? Yeah... I mean, I got the chicks phone number in my phone so... What happened? What REALLY happened? You're EXACTLY RIGHT! That thing you thought in you're shit-filled brain just-now? That you wouldn't ever say because it makes me look like I'm better than a retard. THAT is what happened there. The academics agree."

Academical

Derogatory term to describe an Engineer or upper Management. It can also be used to describe their proposed solution.

as an adjective -- insufferably obtuse
as a noun -- an un-entertaining charlatan

It is normally told to an Engineer, sometimes upper Management by either an Inspector or Construction Trash Contractor. It is intended to imply the person has no real world experience and only theoretical understanding of how to do a job. It is a professional and eloquent way of calling someone “A stupid mother fucker who has no real world experience.” It is especially amusing when it goes over the persons head and they are oblivious to the major fucking insult you gave them. It is also used to imply that although their book says it is theoretically possible. Real world experienced people know there is no way in fucking hell it will work or it is completely unnecessary. You are astounded at their unprecedented level of stupidity and their lack of experience is shockingly apparent. They refuse to listen to your opinion because you do not have a degree like them and they look down on you even though you graduated from the school of hard knocks. You reluctantly agree to do it their way because you have front row seats to the fucking colossal shit that is about to unfold or you are making a lot of money doing unnecessary work. You do dread hearing the workers relentlessly bitch about how fucking stupid of an idea it or or how much of a fucking waist of time it is to do that.
This is Jimbo, he is an acadamical engineer.

Person A: This is how the book says you need to do this job.

Person B: We will do the job how you want although that step is academical.

Person A: I do not understand how it does not fit. It is built to the drawings.

Person B: The drawings are academic. You are not taking the fact that you are trying to hard pipe 45 connections with no flex to a header.

academictard

A person lacking critical thinking skills, who excels in academia because they believe everything they read.

This type of person is unaware that academic papers can be misleading, so they only read the abstract and conclusion (summary). They neglect to critically evaluate the methods and criticisms of an academic paper. These people are excellent at writing essays. They often go on to become science journalists, teachers, or youtubers, so they can inform the public of their revelations.
