Get the elitist mug.
An atheist who feel that they are better than everybody else, so they will go and troll places to make religious people feel like shit. An atheist who is like this is probably some pathetic, rebellious nerdy no-friends teenager.

Get the elitist mug.
Someone who tries to tell you that there are more nerves in your brain than in your gut, just because of something they found in a book, even though your gut's telling you they're wrong. Anyone who gets that reference gets a cookie.

Get the elitist mug.
A person who suspects that maybe, just MAYBE, there is something higher or better in the universe than the way most people live..... and is not bashful about assuming ownership of this suspicion.

A person who finds it hard to live by the principle of "go along to get along".

This may sound scandalous, but "elitism", in one form or another is the only thing that makes it possible for the human race to transcend itself and grow toward a superior state of existence.

Elitism's an unpopular job, but someone's gotta do it, eh?
The word "elite", in French, means "elected".

Knowledge of French is always a dead giveaway that the person is an elitist, n'est-ce pas? (Blague!!)

Get the elitist mug.
A group of people, who limit themselves to people who only act and talk just like them. No one is ever good enough for them, but you can usually get somewhere for awhile by kissing all of their asses and letting them take advantage of you. Elitism, is usually related to trends since they are all the same, and anyone different is shut out of their little 'group'. Elitists like to label everyone.They are usually looked up to by younger people, because they have ''all the cool band shirts'' and piercings. In reality, it all basically just revolves around alcoholism and stds.
''Nice shoes, im elite, wanna fuck''

''I'm sorry, I'm just too elite for you guys now''

''Im too elite to get tested''

People who think they are better than everyone else.

In terms of social groups centered are music.

Most Metalheads, Classic Rock-heads Indie fans, and Hipsters are elitists.

Metalheads tend to think that taste in music is all that matters in the quality of a person. Also they think Metal is the ultimate music. So they think that people who listen to Metal are superior to those who do not.

Classic Rock-heads are the same way as Metalheads. They are a little more open minded but still elitists.

Indie fans think that unknown music is superior. They are not as strong about their musical taste as metalheads, but they still believe they are better than those who listen to bands everyone knows.

Hipsters tend to think those who don't listen to whats in are strange and different and therefore insuperior to them.

In terms of social groups not centered around music.

Jocks, and Preps are elitists.

Most Jocks believe anyone who sucks at sports and gets good grades are insuperior to them.

Some preps believe anyone who doesn't have a sense of fashion or isn't like them or everyone else is insuperior.

You want indians removed from sports logos? You're an elitist. You won't vote for a hyper-rich, over-privileged douche like Bush or Romney? You're an elitist pig.
