-noun, plural 'screenwriters' 1. That guy who works as a receptionist and has been doing so for years. He keeps telling you about this killer idea he's working on, but you've never seen a single page. 2. Any idiot who failed English in high school or college. 3. A career track at an institution of higher learning like USC, UCLA, or CMU. Usually taught by a 'working professional' who sold one script about a hero dog who saves his owner. Ironically, the cost of tuition far exceeds what most people will make as a career screenwriter. 4. Anyone with an opinion about a movie who believes they could do better if given the chance. 5. Anyone with access to word processing software.
