(March 2008) See also: The Snob (disambiguation) Snob à L'Exposition, by Victor Eugène Géruzez (fr) (Crafty) A snob is a person who believes a correspondence between status and human worth.[1] The term also refers to a person who believes that some people are inherently inferior to him or her for any one of a variety of reasons, including real or supposed intellect, wealth, education, ancestry, power, physical strength, class, taste, beauty, nationality, fame, extreme success of a family member or friend, etc.[citation needed] Often this form of snobbery reflects the snob's personal attributes.[citation needed] For example, a common snobbery of the affluent is the belief that wealth is either the cause or result of superiority, or both.[citation needed] Both definitions are used as a pejorative. The word "snobbery" came into use the first time in England during the 1820s. It was said to have derived from the habit of many Oxford and Cambridge colleges of writing sine nobilitate (without nobility) or s. nob. next to the names of ordinary students on examination lists in order to distinguish them from their aristocratic schoolmates.[1] The French version though is much more accepted: sans noblesse, essentially the same but derived from the Plantagenets rule of England. These common, but typically wealthy students would then acquire symbols of aristocratic status (driver, maid etc.), and were then mocked as "snobs" by the aristocrats.[citation needed] After the later changing of the meaning of the term "snob," people who emulate aristocrats are now referred to as "snob victims."[citation needed] Snob victim[edit] The term "snob" is often misused when describing a "gold-tap owner,"[1] i.e. a person who insists on displaying (sometimes non-existing) wealth through conspicuous consumption of luxury goods (clothes, jewelry, cars etc.).[citation needed]Such person on the contrary craves the attention of snobs, trying to convince them with such consumption of his or her wealth and therefore status.[citation needed]Sophisticated snobs will then often assess that in such case there is no equation between (apparent) wealth and status, reducing the gold-tap owner to the object of their mockery. Such person is referred to as a snob victim.[citation needed]The snob victim may be exploited economically by being deceived by a seller of aspirational goods (by means of e.g. advertising) into believing that status can indeed be acquired through consumption of such goods.[citation needed] Historic manifestations[edit] Snobs can through time be found ingratiating themselves with a range of prominent groups – soldiers (Sparta, 400 BC), bishops (Rome, 1500), poets (Weimar, 1815), farmers (China, 1967) - for the primary interests of snobs is power, and as the distribution of power changes, so, naturally and immediately, will the objects of the snob's admiration.[1][citation needed] (Derived from one of Burke's stand-up skits) A benefit-dependent, lower-class couple with a lack of personal hygiene and spend most of their time smoking a fag or eating pizzas. Wayne and Waynetta argue constantly over everything including the name of their child who they eventually name Frogmella because "it's exotic". Later, another daughter is named Spudulika after Waynetta's favourite restaurant Spud U Like. A third child which Waynetta calls Canoe (which is supposed to be named Keanu Reeves) is born of an affair Wayne had with Naomi Campbell which resulted in octuplets completes the family with the 'brown baby' Waynetta always wanted. Now she is just like all the other Mums on the estate! Wayne and Waynetta also win the lottery and win a holiday but their plane crashes because they are so overweight and end up stranded in a jungle. Enfield based them on a couple with a similar lifestyle who lived in the flat below his in his younger days. Waynetta Slob was played by Kathy Burke.
