I've used that term before. It exists as a perception sometimes, I doubt it actually exists intentionally (ie, people who genuinely consider themselves in some way better or a more qualified fur than others - but who knows, maybe it does).
I've noticed having a [good] fursuit seems to open doors to a world somewhat shut off to suitless-furs. Not necessarily an inherently "bad" thing, but certainly something that can be perceived as elitism.
Sometimes folk who just happen to be everywhere - at all the meets, on all the IRC channels, have a thousand fanboys praising their every last inane one-liner LJ post - could also be perceived an elite (although that sort of thing's a fine line between elitism and general cock).
