Usually they be so full of shyt and lies, don't have anything going
for themselves, so you really can't take anything they say seriously.

At least, these dudes in LJ had careers. The ones I have ran into just had
great mouthpieces, funny, but, in the end, not worth resources or time

pseudointellectual*(plural*pseudointellectuals)Someone who*pretends*to be more*intelligent*than they are.* [quotations*▼]

[edit]Usage notes

Usage is fraught, and*pseudointellectual*may be used as a general term of abuse for intellectuals one dislikes or disagrees with. Nevertheless, in more careful use a rather clear distinction is drawn:[1]*a*pseudointellectual*is someone dishonestly or insincerely using the language, style, or topics of an intellectual, but who lacks the goals, morals, or ability of a “genuine” intellectual. It is someone who acts pretentiously and wishes to win an argument or impress, rather than modestly trying to find the truth – a focus on surface and*rhetoric*over content. These often involve a superficial understanding of a subject and condescension to the audience, as well as possible self-delusion (not being consciously dishonest, but rather genuinely thinking themself to be behaving as a genuine intellectual despite their incompetence).
