Fake smart is where the author goes over the top to try and portray mc intelligence while only exposing their own lack of intelligence. This means they are probably aware of their intelligence level but are determined to prove they are exceptionally smart by writing an exceptionally smart main character. It doesn't work though cause being dumb leads to dumb writing.
So which one did you get pissed off?
The "BS explaination that makes no sense"
Or the "tongue twisting vocabulary that has a simple meaning"
Or the "glaring forced plot/plot hole that only the MC can pull off"
