Combination of "pinhead" and "(Jeremy) Lin," point guard for the New York Knicks, it refers to a person who knows nothing about basketball but makes outrageous statements about Lin and the Knicks after seeing little to no basketball before Lin's breakout success.
"Jeremy Lin is the best point guard in the NBA and he's going to lead New York to the title this year."

"He's fun to watch, but he's not the best. Anybody who's watched more than the Knicks' February games knows this. You're such a Linhead."

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
