fake smart, or pseudo-intellectual, is the classic kid in the back of the room with non prescription thick rimmed glasses, a 4x4 Rubio cube, and some kind of graphic tee depicting how edgy they are. Their grades are probably shit, but they consider themselves “trivia smart”. Chances are, they’ll be atheists or or her- hermadaffadytes
An excellent example of a fake-smart person is the child looking up “fake-smart” on urban dictionary to reassure himself that atheism is the true answer.
