wonk

Someone who professes to know a lot about something although they have no real-world qualifications. Used most often in regards to politics. It may be a well-schooled person, but one who has no real-world experience. I don't know why this is on UrbanDictionary since it's already in Webster's.

"The President is heading toward war despite protests among the political wonks."

"Even the most enlightened music wonks still can't understand why rap is a $100 billion industry."

wonk

A term made up by intellectuals to label thier immense knowledge of a subject. Really, its just another word used by intellectuals so they can massage thier ego, among other things, in a group setting.

I am such a policy wonk. If you like, I can wonk you off while we talk policy.
