- ben_w 3y agoThe concept, yes; the word? I've seen the phrase "elite athletes", but never "elite actors" or "elite musicians". For a different example of that split, there are a lot of proud religious fundamentalists in the USA, it was only the decade following 9/11 that "fundamentalist" seemed to be a dirty word (from my perspective, which at that point was going through university and my first job, both in the UK).
