snobbishly

The summer after graduating from college, I returned home and after rejoining the tennis club started playing every Thursday at “ladies’ morning”, something I simultaneously loved and snobbishly disparaged.

“At seventeen I met a thin, heavy-thighed, balding man who talked and talked, snobbishly, bookishly, and called me ‘Sweet.’

Byron, among others, snobbishly dismissed Keats as a mere ‘Cockney poet’.

It’s thought to be snobbishly pedantic for one to think critically about these wines, as if preferring a good bottle robs everyone else of the lighthearted diversion that is rosé.

Others were jerks — of either the snobbishly aloof or browbeating variety.
