Inability to express yourself for fear of drowning the recipient.
The sufferer has too much to say and fear that he or she will not be understood and that the recipient will feel overwhelmed.
I was on a date with a really cute, but not too clever, guy yesterday. I suffered from intellectual ballache throughout the date. He is not used to dating academics.
The heavy-headed feeling one gets after a long day of only mind related activities such as writing a paper, studying for an exam, preparing presentations, doing mathematics, working on proposals, etc etc.
I got a serious bout of intellectual fatigue after spending the entire day reading Gadamar's 'Truth and Method' for my aesthetics class tomorrow.

when you learn something new and it thrills you so much you get a boner in your brain

Somebody that tries too hard to not be "typical" by saying they like whatever isn't the trend. Usually they listen to post-rock like Mogwai, Sigur Ros, and Interpol. (I like some of those bands too but I don't keep shoving my musical taste at a bunch of n*sync fans to try to feel a false sense of superiority) And they like anything described as "indie"; movies like Ghost World, Donnie Darko, Requiem for a Dream, and Whale Rider. If you said those movies were popular(which they pretty much are) they would get pissed. Basically, they're people that miss the point about actually enjoying something cause they're too caught up at trying to look cultured, therefore they are posers.
"After watching Donnie Dark and listening to the new Godspeed You! Black Emperor a millionth time, the pseudo-intellectual sipped java at the "cool" cafe where he talked about how intellectual he was for not liking anything marketed"
