Connoisseurus Rex

A portmanteau word combining "connoisseur" (which means someone who is an expert judge in a particular matter) and "Tyrannosaurus Rex" (dinosaur species whose name means "tyrant lizard king" and is known as the angry, carnivorous jerk among dinosaurs that no other dinosaurs liked).

"Connoisseurus Rex", therefore, represents someone who takes connoisseurship to the next level by being a condescending, and at times hostile, douche. Connoisseurus Rexes are typically considered too annoying for actual friendship.

connoissucker

A person with little experience, background or training who suddenly starts to enjoy high-brow, high-margin items of questionable quality. Includes people who buy artwork on cruise ships, $10,000 home theatre systems and Hummers. They also drink wines costing $50+ per bottle without ever drinking the $10+ ones and buy athletic gear engineered for professional athletes for a half-mile stroll. While they profess their love of the "finer things in life," a merchant laughs all the way to the bank.
Dave is such a connoissucker. He bought that painting on a Caribbean cruise for $2500 and acts like it's a Van Gogh.

Horology connoisseur

A self proclaimed "horology connoisseur" is most likely a snobbish watch enthusiast. He is not necessarily rich, but he most likely is. It's a rare encounter in real life since he is mostly keeps his opinions on the internet, where he makes sure to remain anonymous.

Distinctive behaviors are :

1) telling people about his superior taste on anything and everything

2) showing off his watch collection that mostly contains watches other "Horology connoisseurs" consider respectable

3) bashing on other people's choices of watch, dress code and lifestyle
4) getting really personal with anybody who dares to call him out for his bullshit

How to recognize a "Horology connoisseur" without any interaction (really, just stay away)

1) His Facebook profile is secondary, a profile he made especially for the Facebook groups he is a member of. This is him making sure the people he insults won't destroy his life by showing his boss or wife the douchebag that he is.

2) He uses as a Facebook profile picture a $200k watch only he and 5 other "horology connoisseurs" know or care about. Other pictures in his gallery might consist of scenery from that time he went to Switzerland.

3) His friends consist of other "Horology connoisseurs" ( and only Horology connoisseurs) you might know of ( and hate seeing everywhere)

4) He mostly comments on posts that contain watches or brands he likes to bash on.
Lololol, why did you even buy this?! As a real horology connoisseur, I can't see my self wearing this peace of crap. *tags his friends *
