I am employed by a university and I don't know
(Please answer only if you aren't employed by a university:) Without looking it up, do you know the difference between an 'associate professor' and an 'adjunct professor'?

White male associate professor here. Was hired last year. There's some truth to the meme but it is still just a meme.

An associate professor makes grad students teach their classes. An adjunct has to teach their own classes.

I don't, but English isn't even my native language and I have to look up official terms all the time, because they don't match neither the Russian terms (my native language) nor the Latvian ones (I live in Latvia, but I pretty much don't know Latvian at all)

You said not to look it up, but then how will you know whether the data you get is accurate and not just peoples egotism? Any way, I did look it up and I was not entirely correct, so answered 'sort of'. :)

Oh you'd get fired for that. Tenure doesn't protect you from gross misconduct.

Working hypothesis: this is why some people adjunct when they could achieve more success outside academia. To students and the public, they're still a professor. Hard to give up if you're really invested in that identity.

Well, they are professors, just not successful ones.
