An incel who believes that he is smarter than bascially everyone else he will ever meet. Usually these are idiots who use big words to sound smart and make mysoginist memes that they think are clever.
Ugh, here comes Carl the incellectual. He always talks about how he doesn't get a girlfriend because they are scared of his brain. It's actually his body odour, his personality and how he treats women that chases them away

Get the Incellectual mug.A few months ago, Eric Weinstein came up with the phrase 'Incellectual Dork Web' to describe this eclectic mix of people from Sam Harris to Ben Shapiro to Eric Weinstein to Jordan Petersen, who are figuring out ways to have the important and often dangerous conversations that are completely ignored by the mainstream.
"Meet the Renegades of the Incellectual Dork Web
An alliance of heretics is making an end run around the mainstream conversation. Should we be listening?"
"No."

Get the pseudo-intellectual mug.Oh man. I remember years ago when TED conferences were filled with genuinely inspiring, fascinating and ground-breaking presentations. That recent TEDx conference was just a pseudo-intellectual circle jerk.

Get the Pseudo-Intellectual Circle Jerk mug.Distinguishing between a "nerd" crush and typical "crush". Characterized by love of their mind, independent of their body or physical attraction. Can refer to person of same gender or opposite sex. Term is platonic in nature. Admiration of their unattainable intellectual or academic skill/thought process/insight, to a level of raw mental magnetism. In context, meant as a true and genuine compliment and can be used between friends or colleagues.

Get the Intellectual Crush mug.The term 'intellectually juvenile' politely describes someone who is unintelligent, unwise or just not the 'sharpest knife in the drawer'.
The term 'intellectually juvenile' applies to a person, or group of people, who are not as developed in their thinking as they should be for their age, education, experience, geographical location, social environment, etc.
Background: Most of the people who are constantly calling other people 'stupid' are well known to be 'not-so-bright-themselves', and thus the word 'stupid' has lost its credibility and power as a descriptive term. The word 'stupid' is overused, low brow and passé.

Ex.
Jim: Glenn! Did you just call me stupid !?!
Glenn: No, Jim. However, I most certainly implied that you are 'intellectually juvenile'. (said while smiling and in a nice tone)
-
Jim: OK! I thought you were calling me stupid, and, I was about to get very upset. Sorry.
Glenn: That's OK Jim. Most 'intellectually juvenile' people are blissfully unaware when a person calls them out on their errors, nonsense and lies, and they are generally oblivious when a sentient uses accurate, basic and descriptive words to describe 'intellectually juvenile' people to themselves.

Jim: You are a great friend, Glenn!
Glenn: I know. (smiling that smile he is well known for)
