Hey /lit,

I need help with a word. What would someone be called who always tells you what they are before giving their opinion as if their opinion is correct due to their title, example:

>As a history major, ...
>As a Liberal...
>As someone who reads the news,...
>As an animal lover...

They say it in a way to almost discredit you. What is this called other than asshole?

Qualification? Someone showing they're qualified.

This seems like it.
>>9337996
I can see this to. Someone who seems they are qualified to give an opinion due to their title. I think pedant might be closer.

Precisely this. A person overly concerned with impressing the idea of their knowledge upon you without necessarily having the knowledge to back up such a claim. Pedantry in a nutshell.

P.S., non sequitur: A memento is a malmanteau of a malapropism of a portmanteau

I just wanted to share the postscript with someone else and I found the perfect forum in which to do it.

Cheers.

"As a history major...," he said, in a snide pedantic tone....
