What the fuck is a pseudo intellectual? What an arbitrary fucking word. People spew that word at me sometimes, they don't even refute my points, they just assert that I'm wrong. I guess my conclusions don't serve you? Lick the crusted smegma off the folds of my salty balls, you smily fucking cunt.
you sound like a pseudo intellectual
it means theyre mad cause they didnt understand what you said
OR
that youre trite and too smug
unless the person calling you this seems intelligent themselves then it's just a tantrum
I've always felt it was someone who tries to act superior and intelligent without actually doing anything. They don't read great literary works, become masters in science or art but they still feel that they have the right to put other people down for things they understand only slightly better. They get all their knowledge from Ted talks, reddit, and shitty online articles. They basically get only the easily digestible info and then use it to feel superior. That's what I've always felt anyway

this, but an important feature to not miss which points to the direction of someone being a pseud, is being vocal about such things. it's completely fine watching things that are easily digestible, as long as you do not act on it and spout you're knowledgeable

Someone who pretends they're intelligent but really they're just kind of regurgitating shit they've read without any real understanding.
Basically a parrot.
I always saw them as the academic equivalent of a hipster.
