I'm not surprised you would. That does not mean its an OK term to use.

A louse is someone who (intentionally or unintentionally) blocks people from boarding when it isn't the louse's turn yet.
I lost it on some lice in SFO one day.

Unless you assume that as an SE you're the only person in Zone 1; or the most important zone 1 er. I've seen many many Zone 1-ers act like the people they refer to as such. Like being pushed aside be someone saying: "Move over..I'm in Zone 1." To which I answer "uhhhh so am I, but I see you don't seem to care." I'm assuming they are overly-entitled SEs (thats redundant, I know) but whatever right. You're Zone one is better than my Zone 1.
Narcissism and entitlement do not justify using these terms...except if one is an entitled-narcissist, I guess (more redundant terms, I know).
