The OED Online covers the spelling, but perhaps the printed version of the OED doesn't! My bad.
Where oh where’d my body go?
Africa or Mexico?
Where or where’d my body go?
Where’d my body go?
Have you seen my ghost?
Staring at the ground?
Have you seen my ghost?

Er... I'm not quite sure what an Elistism is, and I can only find five references to it on Scroogle(uncluttered Google), and they appear to be typo's from the same/similar article, alluding to 'elitisms'. Can you check your reference NDP-S please. My anagram was quite a common expression.
Besides, ELISTISMS has 9 letters. YAY! :nyah:

Oops. Typo! Elitisms?

But I can try finding another word.

ETA: I guess all the accusations that Obama is an "elitist" had me thinking of my original solution!
