What do you do to present yourself as elitist? Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

Come on, we all want to be better than the rest...

I don´t eat (or hardly eat) fast food, which indicates without doubt that I´m a much more civilized person than fast food eaters. Beat that, fast food slaves!!!

So how do you prove your superiority to the infidels?

I prefer not to drink rather than drinking coke

When I want to be elitist, I also use complicated words to show my contempt to the ignorant others

But generally speaking, I try not to look elitist when I discuss, because I like meaningful discussions, and being on the same level as others sure helps.

Yeah great.

In discussions it helps also to use as much scientific terms (which nobody can understand) you can to talk the rest into submission. Of course, be prepared, sometimes people try to resist by asking what those terms mean....

You can't make me elitist even if you put a cigar to my mouth and make me say bunch of nice words.

I just had a crazy idea. We should make a movie (a comedy) about 22 year old Finnish guy who sues Jacko now (2003) for sexual assaults that happened back in 1993.. you know, I was in the US that time for 3 weeks . It would make an awesome movie, or even documentary.

I just cry and say 'he touch me here...'... hehe

Exactly. By saying you try not to appear elitist you directly declare your perceived status as an elitist thus making a mockery of the question (in a good natured spirit) and appear naucietingly pretentious.

How can you! Such a important question!!!

OTOH when you´re saying that you´re not an elitist, but meaning that you are an elitist, it indicates that you aren´t as elitist as you think, since you´re just one of many elitists

I don't watch television or hollywood movies, I don't eat fast food, I'm vegetarian, and I built my own computer. But I don't really do any of those to be elitist, that is just a bonus.
