Get the Wikijism mug.A person who can barely pass off borderline correct Wikipedia quotes, facts and figures, as legitimate and original research or knowledge. Wikilectuals often can be found out by asking for real, exact details about a particular item. Or, when approached about any subject with no Wikipedia article, they claim that "there is no current research" about said specification.
Ex 1:
Wikilectual student-Pandas are technically carnivores, since they have carnivorous genes and a carnivorous digestive system. However its diet consists of almost exclusively bamboo.
Teacher who knows about Pandas- Very interesting, tell me of its taxonomic classification and if that is too hard, tell me why they are exclusive bamboo eaters.
Wikilectual- uhhhh... Pandas are fat.
Ex 2
Walt- Hey man, could you tell me where in Vienna I can get some good Wienerschitzel?
Wikilectual- There is no current research.
Walt- Dude it was a rhetorical question, do I look like a tourist to... wait. Are you a wikilectual?
Ex. 3
Conner- Cara is such a wikilectual, the teacher should make her write about something with specifically no wikipedia about it. Then lets see her get an A.

Get the Wikilectual mug.A wiki-hangover (alternatively, wiki hangover) is when you wake up in front of your computer with a stiff neck, bloodshot eyes, and a headache, from looking at your computer screen for too long. You vaguely remember the night before, looking up something about planetary motion. From there it was the Fleet Satellite Communications System, and you have a blurry memory of global cooling. Based on your open tabs, it appears that at some point during the night, you got up to stumble across aquatic gastropod mollusks before passing out again. You swear to yourself, "Never again."
Oh, you'll hold out for a day or two; some people even last a week. But at some point, you'll get a little red notification on the globe at the top of your Facebook screen, and somebody will post a link on your wall, saying, "Hey, this is the article I told you about," and before you know it, you're right back on "the glow." Oh, one article won't kill me, you tell yourself. Maybe just look up one or two things mentioned that you need some background about before you can really understand the one your friend sent you. But that's how it starts. And you can learn to recognize the signs.

Get the wikipedia mug.A hypnotic state, characterized by aimless clicking through Wikipedia for hours on end. May cause loss-of-sleep
Last night around 10:00 pm I was looking up The Critic TV show on Wikipedia. Before I knew it, it was 12:15 am and I knew a little more about Walt Disney, the Epcott Centre and Scooby Doo. Where did those two hours go? They were lost in a Wiki-trance!

Get the Wiki-trance mug.Someone who misuses Wikipedia to attack those they dislike, or are jealous of, instead of settling differences in real life.
Typical behavior is vandalism of entries, making false entries that are negative or damaging, or even rallying editors to delete entries, all based on personal reasons.
