Intelligence

Something severely lacking on Urban Dictionary, for god sake at least know what you're talking about before you post a load of crap on here.
The eiffel tower was built by eskimos as a present for Jesus!11!! He then changed his name to Bob Dylan and formed an emo band!1!

No form of intelligence was used in the above statement, but you'll probably believe it because you read it on the internet.

Intellectual Prostitute

Any mainstream media journalist. As coined by John Swinton, former chief of staff, The New York Times, in a 1953 speech before the New York Press Club.

"We are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities, and our lives are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."
That journalist never says what they really think because they are an intellectual prostitute.

pseudo-intellectual

Someone who pursues knowledge in a variety of categories for purely social reasons and tends to have only a basic understanding of many concepts.

The pseudo-intellectual doesn't seek knowledge for the purpose of better understanding the world, but rather to enhance their image. They also prefer to interpret concepts in a way that allows them to use their knowledge as a weapon in social scenarios. They'll use the misinterpretation of facts to appear objective and correct, and thus unaccountable, when "talking shit" on another person.

The pseudo-intellectual will challenge opinions or views as a way of making a personal attack. They then usually assume an imagined victory and will feel that the one they've attacked has been "put in their place". Pseudo-intellectuals are very catty and have a strong desire to socially dominate others.

Pseudo-intellectuals are quick to judge others and are usually very sure of their superiority based on their ability to use knowledge as social ammo. They'll use any means available to prove themselves "correct" and tend to believe that being correct gives them a blank check for any social pursuits, including ones that are undertaken purely for self gratification.

Given their usual motivation to either impress or dominate their peers, the Pseudo-intellectual is completely uninterested in any knowledge that they can't use in this capacity.

Intellectual Badass

A very smart person (usually with an IQ over 130) that doesn't act like your typical nerd. They don't give a shit about race, most have friends from a variety of races, or others religion, e.i. one could be christian with an atheist friend. Generally avoid the populars. Usually wear clothes more toward comfortable than fashionable though they can be fashionable. Intellectual Badasses (or IBAs) usually dont fit in with many other people than other IBAs. They hate posers (e.i. Their theme song says "we don't roll with the grills; we got braces on our faces) Could be precieved as normal but everyone know who they are because they're the group that's always laughing geniunely and cracking perverted jokes. Usually envied by populars/bitches. Top of the 'food chain' but don't really give a shit about it. Stick together like real friend should.
Bitch: Ugh they're such losers!
IBA: Nah we're bad ass. Intellectual badass bitch. So step back before I make you!
