pseudointellectual

A bunch of academic quacks who have substantial abilities in faking their exaggerated reasoning abilities, and resent doing "real work" because they consider it "beneath them".

1. They question, or do not believe in the existence of God, because being an atheist makes them feel rebellious, distinctive, and "smart".

2. They sponge up much needed financial aid that would have been better invested in technical fields like engineering or medical research.

3. They are no valuable use to society. Their theory about the "Ambitions of Man" will not stop the emerging SuperAIDS epidemic from wiping out those who can't afford the state-of-the-art prescriptions. Same goes for SARS and the bird flu.

4. They congregate at StarBucks because without a adequate shot of caffeine, which is what their blood is mostly composed of, their heart rate would slow down and they will literally "freeze" to death.
Pseudointellectuals believe in God and his Son's birth only during the Christmas season, so they can upgrade their cell phone plans and state their own independence from "mainstream" society by buying overpriced shirts from the Abercrombie captioned "Fuck Bush".

Pseudointellectual

pseudointellectual fuck

A person who tries to inject themselves into conversations where they think they have relevant knowledge and impress those around them with aforementioned knowledge. These people are inevitably proven to be morons by those around them with more than a quarter of a brain. When ignored they usually go away, calling them on their bullshit is another route to dismiss the PIF.
Matt: "That Andrew tried to lecture me again about the Philosophy of Plato."

Phil: "Yeah that guy is a pseudointellectual fuck. If old faithful spewed steaming nonsense instead of water it would be called Andrew."
