Intellectually Disabled

The politically correct term for "mentally retarded." It became more widespread after the word "retard", originally used to describe a person who legitimately has an abnormally low IQ, was gradually used more and more as a pejorative term for people who suffer from developmental disorders.

"My cousin has an IQ of 62. He is intellectually disabled."

2) All of Yahoo chat's Graveyard 1's 'Regs'. This is not the only known case of chat eliteism.

intellectual deviance

The state of being rebellious to knowledge. Intellectual deviance is most apparant today through the general teenagers' habit of mocking intelligence. "Nerd", "geek", "bookworm", etc. are certain slang-terms used by the populace to describe the intelligent. It is a subcontious fear of being surpassed by those more knowledgeable that causes this mass, ego-induced hysteria. If the knowledgable surpass one man, that man will soon become inferior, and therefore, no longer feel needed. (Feeling needed is the very definition of ego)

Those insecure children over there laughed at me because I walked into the library. I despise intellectual deviance.

Sexual Intellectual

A person who is clearly a fucking know-it-all. A blend of a smart ass and a douche bag - overall an annoying person that no one can stand.

That guy is a total sexual intellectual, the guy thinks he knows everything.
