n. A person, usually male, that believes that they are intellectually gifted, making them superior to their perceived competition inherently. What makes them so unique (and unpleasant...) is their outspoken manner of self-righteousness. Most examples, to give the reader an application of the term, respond to outrage headlines with utmost skepticism, and will bother the poster for facts to prove to the faux-intellectual that it isn't actually fake. Faux-intellectuals almost always behave as if they are above impassioned impulse reactions - when, in reality, such reactions are normal. Ironically, as an aside, most faux-intellectuals respond rather defensively and abrasively to being called out.
