egghead
Definition: An overly intellectual person; someone who thinks too much.
Example:
1) Charles can't order lunch without using an algebraic formula -- what an egg
head!
2) Those eggheads in the media are always giving advice, but they don't know a
nything about real life.
Etymology: Presumably, someone who thinks a lot must have a big brain, and the
ir head must be large enough to hold their brain. A large head might be shaped
something like a giant egg.
Synonyms: nerd
