A person who holds an advanced degree (Master's or especially a PhD) but demonstrates shockingly poor judgment, zero practical competence, or outright idiocy in their field or public output — typically someone who publishes convoluted, pretentious, or completely nonsensical "research" articles that make everyone question how they ever got credentialed in the first place.
The term originates from Australian Olympic breakdancer Rachael "Raygun" Gunn (Paris 2024), who held a PhD in cultural studies/breakdancing academia yet delivered one of the most memorably disastrous performances in Olympic history — scoring zero points while hopping around like a deranged kangaroo — turning her into the ultimate symbol of credentialed incompetence.

She spent 7 years on a thesis about street culture then embarrassed her entire country on live TV. Certified Raygun.
