I call PhDs that do this "Fudds" after good ol' Elmer because they aren't clever enuf to catch a rabbit. Strand them in the woods and they'd starve as they argued with the squirrels.

I have a few acquaintances who have PhD's. It's pretty interesting to
listen to them sometimes. Sometimes though they get into these
conversations where they seem to be trying to prove how smart they are.
They talk in big words and such. Being the smart alec I am I often stop
them and ask them what the heck this or that means - and the one thing
I've found is sometimes they're full of it! They make up words and BS
their way through many many conversations! I don't suppose all PhD's are
like that - but it's fun to run into the ones who are and to blow up
their persona of genius they're trying to portray.
