All right, sciolists; let's try again

Well, drat! Pierre knows what sciolist means, making him one 
presumably: "Any sciolist knows what that is. But if anyone is 
*really* a sciolist, we wouldn't be able to play with us, as he'd 
know what a turndun is, and a murnival, and all the other words 
too." For a sciolist is a "know-it-all": One who knows many 
things superficially; a pretender to science; a smatterer.

Surprisingly, Judith came up with something very close for her 
fictionition: "Sciolist: (n) A knowledgeable person."

Well, better luck (to me) next time: does anybody know the 
definition of "eroteme"?

P.S. Judith, "...give points, not get them." Or something like 
that.
