intellectual origami

Like word salad but the words coming out of the person speaking actually sound intelligent and enable the speaker to come across as intellectual. Intellectual origami involves sounding intellectual for the sake of sounding intellectual. The speaker will use high profile and scientific sounding words. Think of origami like an intricately folded collection of sharp edges which look impressive, but have much less weight than you’d think.

Paul from Love Is Blind deployed his intellectual origami when speaking or answering any question that production asked him. It would sound impressive, but ultimately it was just a form of intellectual word salad.

Intellectual roast

An intellectual roast is when you roast someone by proving you're smarter.

"What's 2+2?"

"4. Boom! Intellectual roast!"

Abomination Intellectuals

Prima facie intellectual people who are conveniently and absurdly hyperintellectual when it comes to carrying out their interests and suddenly without warning sharply anti-intellectual when it comes to protecting their perceived sources of income, donors/patrons/supporters, inter alia. In other words, a hack.

Example 1)

Abomination Intellectual (i.e. A Hack; Satire of an Intellectual Person): "place A is bad, they killed thousands of people via poisoned toothpicks"

Questioner (i.e. Actual Intellectual Person): "place B who funded your talk killed thousands of people via poisoned straws."

Questioner Thinking: "Why are there so many of these abomination intellectuals, fake people, charlatans? who regulates these people?"

Abomination Intellectual: "The hour is up, thank you for coming to my talk." (i.e. the irony is that neglectful silence is anti-intellectual)

Example 2) Abomination Intellectual: "Give me your money and i'll silence your critics intellectually giving you the space to enjoy your ill gotten gains, while the attention is all on me."

Intellectual Farce
