Knowie

Someone who , no matter what your talking about, has done the same thing, usually better. Also someone who knows everything and likes to critique everything you do despite the fact they can hardly function as human beings. Often times a coworker who knows everything "just ask them" except the fact that everyone calls him knowie behind his back

the Knowledge

The Knowledge is the in-depth study of London street routes and places of interest that taxicab-drivers must complete to obtain a licence to operate a black cab. It was instigated in 1851, and has changed little since.

It is the world's most demanding training course for taxicab-drivers; and applicants will usually need at least 12 'Appearances' (attempts at the final test), after preparation averaging 34 months, to pass the examination.

Your mate doesn't stand a chance to pass the Knowledge no matter how hard he tries!

Knowledge Shopping

When someone criticizes you for being an idiot or not knowledgable either because you don't read books or don't keep up with news and current events. The person then goes out to a store and buys an item that if seen by the other would increase his respect of him. There are two results of this. The criticized person would then take the bought item and then never look at it or use it or they could return/sell it after a couple of days.

Jared: Mike you're a fucking idiot you don't know anything!!
Mike: Screw you i'm smart

Mike walks into B&N and buys Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code
