What is Sophisticati?
1.
Sophisticati ostensibly describes the class of the cultural elite (sophisticates), but has no real meaning. The word is to be applied to those who can't distinguish Monet from Manet but will talk your ear off about either.
We realized that John, our office's supposed wine expert, was a sophisticati when he bought his favorite, a rasberry desert wine, to the company christmas party.
