Cutlerylitism
Created by: Nosila
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).

On being told that Bob may have a touch of the barcoo rot, Roxie chucked a wobbly, thinking that Bob was a goner about to tumble off the twig at any tick of the clock. But in the end, it was decided that Bob was simply a cutlerivore, and that Roxie's only real worry would be the "elliot ness".
Etymology: Blend of cutlery & vore: one who will touch and eat food only with cutlery. (not one who eats cutlery: consider philanderer!)

I actually got the idea from a Seinfeld episode, the one where Elaine witnesses her boss Mr. Pitt eating a Snickers bar with a knife & fork.
I saw this in action on cruise ships with people who refused to eat from the buffet because all those dirty people" had touched the food.
I was thinking of using a chocolate bar in the comic, but then I remembered this girl from grade school who ate ants. Of course, she used her fingers. ~ James
