词源解释颅相学Phrenology是一种认为能够根据头颅形状确定人的心理与特质的心理学假说，由德国解剖学家弗朗兹·约瑟夫·加尔Franz Joseph Gall于1796年提出。目前这种假说已被证实是伪科学。颅相学认为，眉骨高的人，即所谓的highbrow，智力发达，文化修养高雅；而眉骨低的人，即所谓的lowbrow，则知识程度低，比较低俗。highbrow这个单词出现在美国是在19世纪80年代，用来描述智力或审美的优越性。当然，对于这个带有浓厚种族歧视色彩的词，不少人嗤之以鼻，因此这个词事实上往往被用来反讽那些卖弄知识的人。GRE红宝书high高; brown 额; 眉毛: 眉毛翘得高－自以为是有高深学问或文化素养的人
