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.

A person who puts on glasses or uses pretentious words to try and fool people into thinking that they are smart.
I had a date with this female college professor and I was afraid of looking stupid, so I put on some glasses, a cordory jacket with those elbow patches and memorized some four syllable words out of the dictionary. I know, I was faking smart, but I think I can pull it off. smart, fake it til you make it, intelligent, college, university, nerd, geek, professor

Fake Smart is when you are not smart by IQ and you don't study, but you are good at guessing on tests due to your thought process.
