I have to disagree with the assertion that being a snob isn't about being
better than someone else. Of course it is!



To be snob is to be toffee-nosed, supercilious, and stuck-up. Having a low
sense of self-esteem is a big help. It's not easy to be pompous, priggish,
or a bore, but someone has to do it. Snobs are insufferable. One trick is
think about your vocabulary. Use words like mere, start every arcane
statement with, "Of course, " or "Naturally." Then go on to talk about
something, seemingly important, that no one else has heard of. Snobs are
extravagantly important, even if only in their own minds. An expert is
something quite different. An amateur is a person that engages in something
for love.
