iPod. Acronym: Intellectual Pretender Orating Derivatives.

A person, often a student, who has not developed any unique intellectualisms but will bombastically offer plagiarised arguments and opinions, or repeat verbatim any number of literary quotes or philosophies without any real understanding of them.

Much like the actual iPod media device, which plays back music or video that has been stored on it, but does not create new media by itself, an iPod in the human sense, stores information, but does not have the propensity for the creation of unique intellectual opinion. Could also be described as a Faux-losopher. More >>
