I'm trying to picture it... Miles is really quite a bit Old Vor, whether he likes it or not, so I suppose he would be torn between being horrifyingly embarrassed and being a total smart-arse, possibly to cover the embarrassment. That is, if Cordelia ever managed to get him to sit still long enough to listen.

Elena, now -- I think Cordelia had a great deal of influence on her, consciously or unconsciously counteracting Bothari's painfully conservative ways, and everything Elena grew up to be is in some ways a reflection on Cordelia and how she shaped the new generation.
