    Why do we call it a sophomoric opinion or attitude? Why not a freshmanic opinion or attitude? After all a sophomore has at least one more year of university than a freshman.

      Not sure if this is why, but I would say that a sophomore is much more annoying because they have that one year. It’s like when you talk to a person who just took their first university level psychology course, and suddenly they think they can diagnose everyone they meet.

      A “Freshman” attitude might be more one of respectful learning.

      I literally just made that up, but it sounds right.

      Sophomore literally comes from “wise fool” in greek. Sophos = wisdom, moros = foolish
