'''Pseudointellectual''' is a usually pejorative term for someone who acts as though they are an [[intellectual]] when in reality they do not have the deep understanding of topics and open-mindedness necessary for such a classification. Often, it is associated with people who try to appear intellectual as a means to acquire a high [[social status]] and to act as though they are superior to others. The term has become popular in the [[21st century]] and the phenomenon is considered to be on the rise.<ref>http://www.loyarburok.com/2012/06/29/pseudo-intellectuals/</ref><ref>https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/pseudointellectual</ref>
