@RachelHaywire I'm still searching for a good pejorative term for social-political-elite-scum. 100 years ago you could say 'bosses'.
@MorlockP Nope. That's a collective noun, not singular, and only applies to a particular elite.

@St_Rev We started out with your saying "bosses", so I thought collective was reasonable. Eh. -
@MorlockP Yeah, but it has singular 'boss', cf 'fascist' and 'commie'. 'Cathedralist' isn't a word, and is too ugly to coin. -

@St_Rev@simplic10@MorlockP Stephen Jay Gould vs Average Academic is a good example of the distinction? -
@drethelin@simplic10@MorlockP Suey Park vs Average Social Justice Supporter. Difference isn't of degree, but of kind. -
