philostopher
Someone who attempts (often to impress members of the opposite sex/colleagues) to play the role of sophisticated philosopher, but instead ends up becoming lost up his/her own ass, due to being completely out of their depth...
Johnny over there revealed himself to be a true philostopher when he attempted to explain how quantum theory relates to religion. We realized this when he referred to quantum as "something to do with, you know, maths. And stuff".
phiLOSTophizing
The act of spending an extended amount of time trying to figure out what just happened on LOST and trying to predict the next episode's outcome.
Janice: My goodness! Steve, it looks like you haven't gotten any sleep!
Steve: Yeah, I stayed up until 6 am phiLOSTophizing and I've come to the conclusion that there is more than one smoke monster and that this new asian guy and his hippie buddy can't be trusted!
Janice: Oh snap! You could be right! Damn it! Now I have to cancel my meeting and go phiLOSTophize about where Charles Widmore could be!
