Insufferable smugness? Pot, Kettle, etc.
Please consider adding an award for pompous fuckwad intellectuals who look down upon aspects of popular culture with such a superior tone of snobbery that it disgusts even their most faithful admirers. You can call it the Petite Scones award.
(Please don't take offense to "pompous fuckwad". I just like the way it sounds).
I'm honored by the neologism. But I never look down on pop-culture; just sideways with occasional spasms of great love and great hate.
