I get there is a place for euphemisms, but I hate the term "elite", they are not superior in anything other than being evil and doing what other people would never do for power and control. It always reminds me of that pretty girl I went to university with that flirted with and eventually slept with a gross old professor for special privileges and higher grades. Everyone was disgusted by her. She got pretty far in her career doing shit like that, nobody ever thought she was elite in her field though.
