I think it's because they have hard to pronounce words. All of those useless silent letters in their words, like 'rendezvous' and 'croix' and 'Hors d’œuvre' <--(see? who else would merge the o and the e like that to make a supervowel?)
They hoist their superiority upon us by watching us struggle about trying to say this stuff.

Cameron originally envisioned the Terminator as a small, unremarkable man, giving it the ability to blend in more easily. As a result, his first choice for the part was Lance Henriksen. O. J. Simpson was on the shortlist but Cameron did not think that such a nice guy could be a ruthless killer.
