1: lack of thought or intelligence; empty-headedness.
"he denounced what he considered the frivolity or vacuity of much contemporary painting"
2: empty space; emptiness.

how can anyone use a word like that with a straight face without owning a monocle?

Not even that difficult or strange a word. What do people gain from pretending like any word outside the absolute lowest common denominator vernacular is some pretentious nonsense? "Oh hey I'm not a literate person, haha!"

reading literal years of english and never coming across the word.

it makes sense to use specific lingo in all types of professional language but including the word as a headliner for a movie review of the most popcorn of popcorn movies(black widow) reeks of the highest level of pretentiousness
