Academica nervosa
Beware the academic with "gravitas", writes Philip Davis; all it means is that he can make a ten-second banality last ten minutes. A gravitas has "all the inner life of a bicycle pump."
I love it. As for comments on why - no comments. Aside from the fact that anyone connected to academia has met Professor Gravitas. Sometimes on self-reflection.
I am still formulating my thoughts here.
