Modern Jackass

If you are a listener of This American Life on NPR, then you know what I am talking about. Recently, they had an episode called A Little Bit of Knowledge about the Modern Jackasses out there. Modern Jackassism, according to Urban Dictionary, 'usually occurs in a conversation when you know a little about a subject and when asked to expand upon it, you extrapolate completely unrelated nonsense.' A producer of the radio show came up with the term with her friends about this imaginary magazine about these people. Having a Ph.D. on nothing specific (trust me, BME is about nothing specific), this pretty much makes me a senior editor of such distinguished publication... I can pretty much bullshit crap out of my ear, and more importantly, with authority. Thank you, Columbia!
