psuedo-intellectuals 

Ignorant bastards. Individuals who are gifted with a large vocabulary and quick wit, and use it to other's expenses. Often very sarcastic, and thrive on making fun of those they view as different or slow-witted. Also incredibly critical and judgemental, these individuals believe everything that is not them is stupid and moronical. Anything deemed as immature or stupid is subject to their quick, aggressive tongue.

I really hate these people, they are so close minded and immature. Its like a five year old girl putting on make up.

Friend 2: "Well, we hang out all the time, hook up, and he gets jealous if I see other guys, but he's just my psuedo boyfriend. We're definitely not dating."
