<p>undecided, I completely agree about “intellectual.” It sounds stodgy and old and boring. When I think of the word I always picture some bald 90-year-old guy wearing glasses (with chaints attached, no less) and a pinstriped suit with his nose buried in some classic novel that you know you should get through some time but can’t because it’s so boring (i.e. Moby Dick, Robinson Crusoe, Tom Jones, etc. etc.)</p>
