I've had the growing feeling over the past little while that I don't like pundits very much. I wasn't really sure what a pundit was, but whenever someone claiming to be a pundit said something I ended up deciding they were an idiot. I looked up pundit in the dictionary today. It means "a person knowledgeable about a particular topic."

I suspect that in practice it mostly refers to a person who is very opinionated about a particular topic. I don't like pundits any more than I did before I found out what it meant.
