Okay, starting with the definition. I need to make sure it's accurate but also super funny. Let's break down the term. Anti-intellectualism usually refers to someone who dismisses or undermines intellectuals or educated people. It might imply that the person thinks knowledge isn't important, maybe they promote ignorance over learning. So humor could come from exaggeration, maybe using stereotypes about certain types of "anti-intellectuals" in society. Then examples. The example sentence needs to be unsettling but use the word 'anti-intellectual.' Maybe something like a politician talking down to experts? Or a parent telling their kid not to listen to teachers. But it has to be edgy without being offensive. Let me think... Perhaps a scenario where an anti-intellectual figure dismisses academic expertise in a way that highlights their ignorance or disdain. Wait, the example should use the word 'anti intellectual' as part of the sentence. So maybe something like "That guy is such an anti-intellectual; he swore Bigfoot isn't real and then went hunting with his son." Hmm, that's somewhat okay but might not be unsettling enough. Maybe a more confrontational context? Like in a debate between two professors where one openly dismisses the other's credentials? Alternatively, using satire or hyperbole could work. For instance, an anti-intellectual might surround themselves with simple gadgets and criticize technology. Wait, that doesn't quite fit. Need to ensure the example clearly shows someone acting against intellectualism. Let me check definitions again. Anti-intellectual can describe a person who rejects academic ideas or those perceived as intellectuals. So examples could involve skepticism towards education, experts, etc. The key is to show disdain for knowledge or academia in an unsettling way. Putting it all together: the definition part should be a joke-y explanation, maybe using analogies or funny comparisons. Then the example sentence needs to be slightly edgy but not crossing boundaries. Maybe something like a corporate executive trashing scientific reports to save money. That could work. Let's structure that. Definition: An anti-intellectual is someone who thinks getting dumb is cool—like that person always dismisses Einstein over a cup of cold coffee, or pretends not to know basic facts because they’re too busy being a know-nothing-genius. They probably wear bell-bottoms (if retro), argue with mannequins at the store, and think YouTubeIs smarter than college professors. Basically, if you value ignorance wrapped in a bow of skepticism, you’re likely anti-intellectual! Example Sentence: “Ever meet an anti-intellectual who insists climate change is just a hoax perpetuated by sad liberals? ‘They call it science because they want to feel superior.’ Yep, that guy’s living in a fantasy land—right beside his dog, plotting world domination.” RIP: Critical thinking.
