A person who has taken 100 level classes at the local junior college in philosophy, psychology, and literature and pretends to be an intellectual by sprinkling obscure references in everyday speech.

Or some reference they heard from the show Big Bang Theory, without citing the source, about Schrödinger's cat will pop up because they think it will impress everyone.
"If John is so smart, why does he work as a dishwasher at Shakey's"
"Don't be fooled, John is a Community College Intellectual with an inferiority complex."
"Don't be fooled, John is a Community College Intellectual with an inferiority complex."
