Possible Western name for Chuunibyou
The American English term "sophomoric" is similar in etymology and meaning to "chuunibyou", though it refers to a different kind of immaturity (specifically, being a crass
Know-Nothing Know-It-All). It's interesting that "second-year student" is still a shorthand for that, even when the second-years are different ages - the main point is that once you're no longer
New Meat, you get an ego boost without much added maturity.
