Accurate word choice

Unread post by jiklomiki83 »

Is there a word for acting excessively sophisticated and snobbish, disregarding or looking down on people you consider to be lower in class than you like you're better them? A word for acting like certain people are too simple minded to understand your level of intellect, even considering them undeserving of your respect because of it? Snob seems to work, but are there any proper synonyms? I haven't seemed to find any that are close enough to "snob"
