    For online content management systems, the usual idiom is ‘checked out’/’checked in’.

    For example, a user’s product can be ‘checked out’ after a first edit. It is then ‘checked in’ after a third edit. It is also available to many people for editing.

    Users sometimes find this meaning a bit opaque, but an analogy to library books usually clears things up for them.

  • “Intellectual snobbery” pretty much fit in.

    Immediate perception is a pejorative term for prejudice against people and pursuits who/which are perceived as insufficiently intellectual.

    Also an act of intellectual snobbery: A person prefers opera to comic books purely because opera is perceived as high art whereas manga is perceived as low art. Is a comic book more morally upsetting that the opera? Is that person an intellectual snob?


    What do you mean by disdain for impoliteness? I’d argue that that’s not the converse of anti-intellectualism. Academics are as impolite as intellectuals are, check your nearest listserv for examples.

    If you want to give an example of an excessive concern for sexual decorum then you could try ‘fuddy duddy’ or ‘prude’ (although ‘prude’ can have the addition connotation that the excessive concern is specifically for sexual decorum).

    If the person is excessively concerned about minor rules being broken then would ‘prig’ work, but it sounds pretty archaic now. The Nnest novels spend quite a bit of time calling each other ‘prigs’: “The only thing is

    – don’t you be a prig, that’s all.” You keep your eyes open and if you feel priggishness coming on just stop in time”
