Pronunciation: kut ler eel eet izm

Sentence: Reginald Sheffield 111 was a snob and a devotee of cutlerylitism. He believed very strongly that humans must continue to prove their superiority to other creatures by continuing to show off their use of utensils while consuming nutrition. Ice cream cones, chocolate bars, sandwiches, hot dogs, even hamburgers were always eaten using knives, spoons and forks. The only advantage was that your hands never got sticky but the main disadvantages of such a belief were that it took ten times longer to eat anything (picture a big bunch of grapes or cherries) and one looked like a real twit!

Etymology: Cutlery (silverware; utensils used to prepare and eat food) & Elitism (1.The belief that certain persons or members of certain classes or groups deserve favored treatment by virtue of their perceived superiority, as in intellect, social status, or financial resources;a.The sense of entitlement enjoyed by such a group or class).
