"Snob" is a slang term used to describe a person who is arrogant, condescending, or overly concerned with social status. It originated in late 18th-century English, originally referring to a shoemaker or commoner, but by the early 19th century it had shifted to mean someone who imitates the manners or tastes of the upper class while looking down on those they consider inferior. The term is derogatory, used in social, literary, and conversational contexts to criticize pretentiousness or class‑obsessed behavior, and is moderately offensive depending on tone.
