   • 1957, J. D. Salinger, "Zooey", in, 1961, Franny and Zooey:

     We knew there's no keeping a born scholar ignorant, and at heart, I think, we didn't really want to, but we were nervous, even frightened, at the statistics on child pedants and academic weisenheimers who grow up into faculty-recreation-room savants.

   • 1950, The Southern Lumberman, volume 180, page 16:

     With a wisenheimer, all you have to do is let him talk, and he might sell himself. . Flatter him and agree with him. Don't argue, above all things. Let him tell you all he will; the more the better.
