Lol. While this is certainly humorous, and while I can also agree that the word is used often in such a manner, I do think it a worthy suggestion that you examine your feet when speaking from such a perspective. If you do so, I imagine you will find that it is only from a pretentious viewpoint that one can cringe at an expression that they have - so magnificently - avoided using their self.
A good rule of thumb would be to reevaluate your position any time you find yourself looking down on another- or an entire group of people of whom you know very few personally. Only then can you rediscover that you're in fact on the same level as they are, and that you always will be.
