Contrary to people who think that there are actually people that are elitist, most people who are elitist are arrogant pricks who place themselves as higher than others without actual evidence of their higher standing. Elitists also come in many different shades and colors, from the college student-use big words-smarter than everyone, to the gym rat who thinks that because they spend 1/2 their life lifting weights, that their life is in some way worth more than a piece of toilet paper. Most often, when one is confronted with an elitist, the first thing that anyone feels for them, upon learning that this person regards themselves as an elitist, is utter repulsion at the fact that this animal scum believes themselves to be in any way above their fellow primates.
Look, John over there left some piss on the toilet and forgot to flush, - some elitist.
Sue sure knows a lot of big words, yet she never has anything of substance and just comes off like an elitist.
Boy, Joe sure is a model specimen of what a comic book character should look like - I bet he eats a lot of protein and looks at himself in the mirror often - on top of that, I'm sure that if he was attacked by a tiger, he would sure be a tasty meal with all that flesh.

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.

An elitist used to mean someone of high social status who oppresses a minority group.
Today it just means someone who is intelligent, dresses appropriately, can speak clearly, and doesn't watch much television.

Someone who currently is or aspires for greatness (whether that be financial, or being the best in any field). Elitism is a state of mind and not necessarily tied to family lineage or inherited wealth. Someone who the average person loves to hate on because they know deep down they don't have what it takes to achieve the level of excellence demanded by elitists.
Average person: John's such an elitist! He's so damn obsessed with his business that all of a sudden he thinks hes better than the rest of us who like to sit around watching TV on the weekends with our dick in our hands.

A word used by the far right wing to label people who are intelligent as not being of the people. By doing so, the far right wing is insulting those they wish to reach by saying that couldn't possibly relate to anyone an IQ over 100.
Even thought John McCain owns 7 homes, is worth over 100 million dollars, has an economic advisor who thinks that our recession is caused by whiners, and doesn't have a clue how much a gallon of milk costs, he still calls Obama an elitist.
