Claiming to have known something was going to happen, when in actuality you were genuinly suprised. Often this is done simply to save face.
"Hey mom! I just went skydiving!"
*after being visibly suprised* "Oh. Somehow I knew you'd do something crazy like that."
"Nice try, mom. I can tell Intuitive Hindsight when I see it."

Get the Intuitive Hindsight mug.A high level attitude common among many Information Technology personnel, technical support, software developers and similar professions. It is usually demonstrated by a great deal of arrogance, condescension, a propensity to offer insult and a strong emotional response to any perceived suggestion that a given problem is the result of an issue within 'their' code / network / database / realm of influence.
This attitude has been previously acknowledged in pop culture but never specifically defined (see Nick Burns, Saturday Night Live).

Vendor: "We've traced an communication issue between our application servers and your environment using Fiddler / Wireshark. It looks like there may be a problem with your proxy or firewall blocking specific files from our domain."
IT Rep (ITtitude): "There is absolutely nothing wrong with the Network. We are not having similar problems with other vendor software. Our proxy servers are configured based on industry standards and our local security policies. I refuse to entertain the possibility that an issue lies on my network. Please go back to your systems administrator and pursue a solution to this issue from your end."

Get the Genital Istitudes mug.Invented by Steven Hawks, a professor at BYU in Utah. The idea is that you can eat whatever you want, but only when you are actually hungry. This idea in theory keeps you from desiring or craving foods a diet wouldn't allow you to have. Professor Hawks apparently lost 50 pounds by following this philosophy, along with exercise, and is advocating it as a healtier lifestyle than just counting calories and dieting all the time.
