inverse snobbery
by Andy on May 02, 2004 09:41:24
Thinking
you're better than other people because you're working class, have a regional accent, don't use big words, read
tabloid papers, or for other reasons which are opposite to those which would be involved in "
snobbery" in the usual sense.
Example:
The
argument that people who live in "
rough" areas are the only ones who "know" about
crime and that everyone else should shut up is just an example of inverse snobbery.
Reverse Snobbery
by DJ Silly Hat on Jul 29, 2008 10:19:32
The practice of
distrusting or disliking those of a perceived higher
social class than oneself. Therefore, a hick who hates rich people would be a reverse
snob.
academic snobbery
by pigdawg on Sep 22, 2013 08:02:02
When colleges don't want to
accept credits from another college because they don't believe the other school is
good enough, when what they really want, is just your money to take their courses.
Example:
I applied to A fancy college after going to a
state college and they would only accept
19 of 80
credits due to academic snobbery.
Woppery Snobbery
by PokerBroker on Dec 17, 2010 16:22:29
An
egocentric disorder
peculiar to Italian Americans. Obviously their food is tastier; their cars are faster and nobody can run a
bookie joint better than a member of the Woppery Snobbery order.
Example:
Paulsy: Who in the hell cares if I put
cottage cheese in my
lasagna? The Italians think they invented food
preparation and shit; they've all got freakin' Woppery Snobbery.
textbook snobbery
by Blazko on Mar 11, 2008 04:52:24
Example:
French kid: My
textbook said capitalism is evil!
Smart kid: And that's why those who live in socialist countries are
so poor and unhappy?
French kid: ... but it said Americans are evil!
Smart kid: You seem to suffer from textbook snobbery, sir.
Chronological Snobbery
by catholic chuckster on Jul 07, 2010 05:50:17
"
chronological snobbery," the uncritical
assumption that her mother is hotter, whether or not this fact has been discredited. You must find why it has been discredited. Was it ever refuted (and if so by whom, where, and how conclusively) or did this opinion merely die away as fashions do? If the latter, this tells us nothing about its truth or
falsehood of her hotness relative to her mom.
Fandom Snobbery

Fandom Snobbery is the act of acting in a condescending manner to someone inside or outside of your fandom. Usually takes place when fan A knows more than fan B and insults or berates them for not knowing it.
Also occurs between similar
fandoms.
E.G: Between Twilight and
Anne Rice fans. Harry Potter and
Lord Of The Rings.
Example:
Fandom Snobbery
"I think that
Anne Rice's allusions to Homoerotic relationships in
Interview with the Vampire is truly mesmerizing and engaging reading."
"I think that Edward's constant rivalry with Jacob has homoerotic overtones."
"Yeah, but you like twilight, and that's shit. So fuck off."

When a person acts as though they have decided to completely reject common sense. The act of a person who seems to shun common sense the way an

snob!
