" Got it! 4 Jul 2006 @ 22:42 by vaxen : Sophomoric... Etymologically derived through Middle English from the Latin second-type conjugation verb "stŭdērĕ", which means "to direct one's zeal at"; hence a student is one who directs zeal at a subject. Also known as a disciple in the sense of a religious area of study,and/or in the sense of a "discipline" of learning. In widest use, student is used to mean a school or class attendee. ... 6 Jul 2006 @ 18:42 by Tarqan Taruff @66.156.177.219 : Log Jam In the interest of the Daru why not make it really clear just what sophomoric means eye 2 eye? http://www.melaniephillips.com/diary/ 8 Jul 2006 @ 09:25 by jazzolog : Or "sophomoric" could mean jamming up a Log with references that need referencing. Is DARU a trip to New Guinea or the emergency ward (Drug Addiction Research Unit)? Why does clicking Tarqan Taruff take us to a blank page? That could be sophomoric too. When I was a sophomore---and probably still am---I enjoyed knowing "sophomore" is a wise fool. 9 Jul 2006 @ 03:19 by Hanae @68.164.60.46 : The Sophomore by Jackson Lears The Sophomore by Jackson Lears: The sworn enemy of the "booboisie" was a bit of a boob himself. Like any narrow-minded know-it-all, Mencken was given to sweeping dismissals of entire social groups... He summarized his beliefs in 1943: "The existence of most human beings is of absolutely no significance to history or human progress. They live and die as anonymously and as nearly uselessly as so many bullfrogs or houseflies. They are, at best, undifferentiated slaves upon an assembly line, and at worst they are robots who leave their mark upon time only by occasionally falling into the machinery, and so incommoding their betters." Here at last, to Mencken, was an explanation of his own discomfort amid the common herd: he was an Übermensch! One imagines the college sophomore's comparable self-discovery, sometime after midnight in his dorm room. He hovers in the fantasy life of many a William F. Buckley wanna-be, legitimating that sense of innate superiority that one can only call sophomoric. The word is easily abused (mostly by middle-aged critics impatient with youthful excess), but in this case it is indispensable. The sophomore acquires the trappings of learning and leaves it at that; he is content to know what he knows...Mencken was not much more than a wise-ass, a sophomore posing as a sage. The Sophomore is a review writen by Jackson Lears of "The Skeptic: A Life of H.L. Mencken" by Terry Teachout: {link:http://www.powells.com/review/2003_01_23.html|link} 9 Jul 2006 @ 03:37 by i2i : Just for the record: This one comment by [name removed] had been redirected to this post on TrollXing just simply because of: "its lack of clarity as to its purpose (because of style or content) or because of its apparent lack of relevance to the topic at hand from the thread on which it was originally posted by its author. " - and no other reason. The decision was based on the content of the comment itself and no implication was intended as to the author of the comment being either a "wise-ass, a sophomore posing as a sage," or a "wise fool," as one would have it. Furthermore: It is understood that "not all such comments are sophomoric in nature, nor the result of trolling, so this comment was posted here so as to offer an avenue for those interested in the topic or style which might be present in such or such comment independently of the context in which the comment was posted."
