OP While thinking of words that ended in 'ism' (cross thread), I decided to go to onelook and find some more that weren't extreme. I came across this one and thought we animal people might enjoy it.
It means acting all pompous and wise, when, in fact, it's just an act. Here's the def more exactly:
"Quick definitions (owlism)
(n.) Affected wisdom; pompous dullness."
