IntelligentCoDFanboy 

One of the many major trolls on YouTube. This one claims to lead an "army" to "enlighten" gamers about CoD and how it is "superior" to all other games. Despite his obvious trolling, he still grasps bait easily.
IntelligentCoDFanboy: "CoD is the biggest franchise in the world. It has innovated the FPS genre and everything involved in the genre as well. Other FPS such as Battlefield, Counter Strike, Halo and GTA copied CoD. They are CoD ripoffs and are not worthy of playing. CoD on the Xbox will have the best graphics and biggest performance of every game worldwide. It will be the most successful game with the best score and the biggest fanbase."

Term is platonic in nature. Admiration of their unattainable intellectual or academic skill/thought process/insight, to a level of raw mental magnetism.

He is so damn clever, funny, and quick; he is by far one of my top intellectual crushes.

intellectually juvenile

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)

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
