With the caveat that very few people think of me as a nit, I usually go one of two routes:
1. "Us vs them", e.g. "That ****er, let's raise his big blind every orbit!"
2. Disinterested, e.g. "If he wants to pay $10/hr [note I always intentionally lowball rake to avoid attracting attention to it] to fold and drink free coffee, that's cool."
