(n.) someone who knows only a bit about a particular discipline or topic, but who believes himself (or herself) an expert. (from Alexander Pope's advice in his 1709 Essay on Criticism: "A little learning is a dangerous thing; drink deep, or taste not ... there shallow draughts intoxicate the brain, and drinking largely sobers us again.")
