SGitR


acronym for the smartest guy in the room, short for smartest guy in the room syndrome. the smartest guy in the room has an above-average iq and knows it; he or she grew up being the smart kid. a sgitr is smart enough to know that s/he’s smarter than most people, but not quite smart enough to recognize when s/he encounters other people who are smarter. s/he defaults to the belief that because s/he is smarter than the majority of the population, s/he must be smarter than the people s/he’s talking to. when a sgitr is in a room full of smart people, s/he’ll continue talking down to and/or correcting them, happily oblivious to the fact that s/he’s now in an environment in which s/he is not, in fact, the smartest guy in the room. see also mansplaining, dunning-kruger effect.
“ugh, at the party i got cornered by this guy who would not stop correcting everything i said about axon growth and myelinization for long enough for me to explain that i wrote the paper he was misquoting.”

“i know that guy… andy. he does that all the time, he’s a total sgitr.”
