was originally intended as an ironic jibe, so I have heard! It refers to the supposed self-congratulatory conformity amongst academic circles, a criticism of the fat, vapid and uncreative minds to whom the prospect of sitting around a table nodding their heads like so many bloated dogs was a satisfying station in life. In other words, the supposedly 'great minds' weren't really great at all - they just sit around agreeing with eachother, asserting platitudes and scratching their egos.
