I'm not faculty, I'm staff at a state university, but I guest lecture on "computer stuff" and I think I should qualify as "Professor I-Could-and-Sometimes-Do-Recite-This-Lecture-in-my-Sleep." Because I could, and sometimes do.
And my personal favorite is Professor I-Have-A-PhD-so-I-shouldn't-have-to-learn-anything-new-ever-again-What-do-you-mean,-you-don't-support-WordStar-4.0-and-Windows-3.1?
