sophisticated-life naiveté

Being less familiar wif "common man" objects, speech-expressions, entertainment, etc. due to one's having a more "high-toned, high society" lifestyle.
Long-term Boston-Pops-concert announcer William Pierce evidently had such major sophisticated-life naiveté dat he actually didn't know how to properly say da last word in da title of da third "Star Wars" movie --- he incorrectly pronounced it "Jaydee" several times when announcing dat da famous Massachusetts-Bay-area orchestra was gonna perform one or more selections from it, then later made a seldom-heard "correction of a previous statement" aside-announcement to da radio-audience: "I was just now informed that I had incorrectly identified the movie title --- it's supposed to be pronounced, 'JED-EYE'." So I'm guessing dat da "venerable Billy P." had spent da majority of his days ensconced in da elite-and-upper-class world of classical music and elegant concerts, and so HE'D had little time for --- or interest in --- da "everyday man's" science-fiction crap!

naïvetéser

noun: naïveté about how seriously pin-headed Taser-wielding cops & airport security take themselves
Robert Dziekanski {RIP}, that Polish immigrant who was fatally Tasered by cops at the Airport, must have been experiencing profound naïvetéser – ‘cause the cops all testified, "The fact that Dziekanski couldn't understand English made no deference." Dziekanski, they said, seemed to be in an agitated state; therefore, the use of multiple Tasers - repeatedly - was an appropriate response.

Naivster

A covert or low key Hipster, whose eccentric and gimmicky grooming fashionismo is pretendedly non intentional and accidental.

In reality, the Naivster spends enormous amounts of time and effort constructing his quirky and uniquely trendy appearance and persona. He draws inspiration from less well known sources and brands, and can combine classic preppy items with freaky accents.

The Naivster regularly insists that his style and demeanor does not have anything out of the ordinary and is not artificially construed.
-What's up with that liquid ink ballpen tucked high up inside your t-shirt collar?
-Nothing... Why?
-What's up with that strange old lady necklace/bracelet?
-This old thing? I've always had it with me!
-You're such a Naivster!!!
