sophomoric

A word one uses to try, and call someone else immature, but instead just ends up making themselves look like a pretentious douche bag.

Guy 1: The jokes on Tosh.0 are so sophomoric.

Guy 2: Dude you sound like a pretentious douche right now.

sophomoric-writing

Phrase used to describe the script to the Fifty Shades of Grey movie from reviewers who are too hung up in social trends to write anything aside from blanket statements.

Fifty Shades of Grey was repetitive, the sophomoric-writing was annoying.

sophomore

The forgotten year of high school. The freshmen are busy being freshmen: preppy girls freaking out about every grade they get, others just being generally immature. The juniors are busy with homework, and trying to get better grades so they can go to college. The seniors are busy partying and generally having a good time. No one really cares about the sophomores. In conversations with adults, when you tell them that you are a sophomore, they have nothing to say to you. It's not "a big change from middle school", you havent started thinking about colleges, and you havent applied to colleges. And thats all adults care about. Contributing to the suckyness is the fact that you have 2 more years after this one, and for a year the only thing you are looking foreward to is getting your license, which you feel you are thisclose to getting for the entire year.

Adult: What grade are you in?
Freshman: I'm a freshman.
Adult: Do you like high school? Is it very different from junior high school? Are you getting good grades?

Adult: What grade are you in?
Junior: I'm a junior.
Adult: What's your GPA? Have you started thinking about colleges? Are you bringing your grades up so you can get into college?

Adult: What grade are you in?
Senior: I'm a senior.
Adult: What colleges did you apply to? What do you want to major in?

Adult: What grade are you in?
Sophomore: I'm a sophomore.
Adult: Oh. (has nothing else to say)

Kid: What grade are you in?
Sophomore: I'm a sophomore.
Kid: Oh, that sucks for you.

Sophomore Scruff

Sparse facial hair grown by high school students. Students reject the idea that they don't have a real beard and they grow out the sparse facial hairs making them look like an idiot.

Did you see John's sophomore scruff it looks like he glued pubic hair in random places on his face.
