| I'm an elitist about anything I research intensively. The most recent research project I did was on Russian oil companies. So yeah, if anyone thinks they know something about them, I probably know more. |

you're all talking about being picky or discerning, not being elitist.

elitist
n : someone who believes in rule by an elite group [ant: egalitarian] |
By definition if you are only an elitist if you believe a state should be ruled by the elite.
^^^ as you can see by the above I am picky when it comes to diction. |

| im an elitist in running, music, eating (can eat a ton), women, sex, wasting money, procrastinating, not getting enough sleep, driving on empty (can get 50-60 miles once the light turns on), persuasion, & getting my g/f mad. I think thats about it for me. |

good call moral, i was thinking it sounded weird what some were saying..."i'm an elitest about eating".
should name the thread, "what are you picky and/or know-it-all about"
anyway, i'd say
food. i love to cook and always watch the food network (you can learn A LOT on that channel).
people. i've pretty much seen and done it all, so it's hard to fool me
animals. i've taken in a lot of stray animals and dealt with everything from feline lukemia to scabies, so i always like to play vet when i see a stray kittie or when someone is asking what might be wrong with their dog or cat. i actually know a lot, but obviously not enough to be a vet.
