Typing it is like playing ping pong on your keyboard

"Hey did you know that typing skepticism is like playing pong with your keyboard?"

"Ok, but why did I need to know this?"

"It's cool! Right? R-r-right?..."

Skeptic

Colloquially refers to a pseudo intellectual cynic who hides behind the rouse of critical thinking to support their lack of belief in anything they haven't read in Scientific American.

They think they know everything about everything when in actuality a skeptic is the mirror image of the people they despise because they believe what they want to believe despite evidence to the contrary.

Yoga instructor: Namaste

Skeptic: There is no evidence that yoga is beneficial for anything. Any claims of the healing power of yoga can only be attributed to a placebo effect.

Yoga instructor: What a douche.
