	Pseudointellectual - Wikinfo
		Pseudointellectuals may pretend they are keen readers of material like The Economist Magazine and may say they refuse to take part in what a they describe as Idiotic culture.
		An actual pseudointellectual may be identified through his/her use of "advanced" vocabulary that is placed out of context with a definite disregard for connotation (an abuse of language which appears to be the result of the use of an online thesaurus).
		Because of the pseudointellectual's awkward use of syntax or misrepresentation of ideas, the pseudointellectual becomes the object of scorn and the target of grammar nazis and other internet snobs for stepping out of what is viewed as his or her correct place in the hierarchy of intelligence.

	Psuedo-intellectualism, or Sucking in your Mephitic Pseudocoelom
		A wise person once said, “A pseudointellectual is a person who knows what "pseudo" means.” This person had no idea what they were talking about.
		Pseudointellectualism is an art, as intricate and exact as lockpicking or taking naps, and as mind-numbingly intensive, too.
		Pseudointellectualism is very useful in real life, whether you become a politician, someone working in computer tech help assistance, or a teacher.

	Urban Dictionary: pseudointellectual
		As much as I like DJ Spooky, when he starts talking on the CD I always skip the tracks to avoid his long pseudointellectual musings.
		They congregate at StarBucks because without a adequate shot of caffeine, which is what their blood is mostly composed of, their heart rate would slow down and they will literally "freeze" to death.
		Pseudointellectuals believe in God and his Son's birth only during the Christmas season, so they can upgrade their cell phone plans and state their own independence from "mainstream" society by buying overpriced shirts from the Abercrombie captioned "Fuck Bush".

	USCCB - (Film and Broadcasting) - The Squid and the Whale
		Downbeat but keenly observant story of dysfunctional Brooklyn-based family -- vain, pseudointellectual writer (a superb Jeff Daniels) in career slump, and estranged wife (Laura Linney) beginning to get attention as a writer, and their two confused children (Jesse Eisenberg and Owen Kline) shuttling between the two households.
		Writer-director Noah Baumbach does well on both counts with this semiautobiographical material, but the amoral attitudes and behavior of the parents (though shown to have negative consequences) and the relentless barrage of expletives and frank sexual talk, will turn off many viewers.
		Vain, pseudointellectual, cheapskate writer and academic Bernard Berkman (a bearded, graying Jeff Daniels) is in a career slump, trying to get his next book published.

		And while I made it a point to memorize every possible definition of irony after watching the movie, I certainly haven’t veered very far from my hypocritical roots as a pseudointellectual.

	Ultimate Truth
		The idea was said to have come from some movie that they had seen.
		But the idea - not just of omniscience, but of possessing absolute, timeless, ultimate, and immutable knowledge or truth - is much older than modern pseudointellectual chitchat.
		That’s what it is. That’s how absurd, how hollow, and how meaningless faith-based religions are when they claim to possess absolute, timeless, ultimate, and immutable truth.

		I get annoyed pretty easily by cheesy and overly elaborate pseudointellectual justifications for liking crap (Hi Gene and Adam F, how are you doing?).

	The Role of Doubt - Does God Exist? - MayJun00
		One of my pet peeves is the practice that exists in our society of putting labels on fellow human beings.
		Words like liberal, conservative, evolutionist, creationists, fanatic, intellectual, pseudointellectual and the like, are stuck on people-usually as a means of denigrating what they say or a position that they take.
		The label "doubting Thomas" has been applied to the biblical character who is quoted at the start of this article.

		Constance Reid, who discovers her pseudointellectual life and loses her virginity on the Continent just before World War I, marries Clifford Chatterley.
		No longer capable of many physical pursuits, including sex (at least, sex of a conventional nature) or procreation, Clifford becomes a pseudointellectual, debating meaningless questions of life, the universe, and everything with equally empty-headed friends, while writing books and stories that sell and make him into a minor celebrity.
		When Connie's more practical Scots father asks rhetorically, "What do they mean?", she can think of no answer.

		Israel is not served well by Christian OR Jewish literalists who argue on the basis of the Bible; Israel is a nation in the modern world, trying to survive while surrounded by hostile neighbors and a pervasive atmosphere of pseudointellectual anti-Semitism.
		Appealing to scriptural justification is just tossing gasoline onto the fire.

		." And although I don't consider "intellectual" anything to be shy about, "intellectualism" may be another thing altogether or, as they might say in the Valley, "another kettle of fish." Perhaps I'm thinking of "pseudointellectualism," the pretense of intellectual qualities.
		One of the phrases still associated with one-time vice-president Spiro Agnew is the best definition of the pseudointellectual: effete snob.

		I'm writing this, of course, because several things from Hobbes's recent editorial on the subject rubbed me the wrong way.
		My problems with his piece centered around a few main issues: the "social conventions" that dictate standards in writing, the strict segregation of "idea" from "language," and some assorted pseudointellectual stuff about language.
		Are we to believe this is some artifact of random organization, that it's mere chance resumes have to be all fancy and scrawled notes can be scrawled notes?

		Smith, who spends most of his waking hours in Holocaust denial, wants open debate, he says, because the possibility that the Holocaust was a hoax goes unreported.
		Much of the material on which Smith bases his claims comes from the pseudointellectual journal of the Institute for Historical Review, a Holocaust-denial group in Costa Mesa, California, and the writings of Mark Weber, a former member of the neo-Nazi National Youth Alliance.
		Says Smith: "I think that journalists feel their career is threatened if they treat revisionist research in an objective way."
