citiot

American  

[sit-ee-uht] / ˈsɪt i ət /

noun

Slang.

1. a city dweller who, when visiting or vacationing in the country, is perceived as being condescending to the locals and generally ill-equipped to be in a suburban or rural setting: applied especially in upstate New York to a tourist from New York City.

   These citiots come up here to enjoy the peaceful pace of country life and then go ballistic if they get stuck behind a hay wagon for a few minutes.

   I may have a Ph.D. in agronomy, but I know what it’s like to have some citiot speak to me very slowly as if I’m an illiterate hick fathered by my cousin.
