American Oxford Thesaurus

snobbish

snobbish adjective the snobbish distinction between art and craft: elitist, snobby, superior, supercilious; arrogant, haughty, disdainful, condescending; pretentious, affected; informal snooty, uppity, high and mighty, la-di-da, stuck-up, hoity-toity, snotty. WORD NOTE elitist A dangerous (that is, dangerous to the culture ) word to misuse. Make sure that you are really referring to a person or group that believes one sector of society is superior —smarter, richer, more aristocratic or sophisticated —to another, and therefore is more entitled to be taken seriously, listened to, assisted, and so forth. Because of its elitist policies, the club only admitted white male millionaires. Do not use elitist as a way of dismissing anything that has a contaminating association with intelligence, great literature, or high art —in other words, anything that demonstrates real quality, that upholds high standards, and that encourages us to think and to make valuable esthetic, moral, or intellectual distinctions. — FP Conversational, opinionated, and idiomatic, these Word Notes are an opportunity to see a working writer's perspective on a particular word or usage.
