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.
