View Full Version : what are you a snob about?
being a snob is not a bad thing imo. just means that you have particular, refined tastes about something that you're not willing to compromise. everyone should be snobbish about some things. just not be a hipster dick about it if people don't share in your snobbery.
for me:
coffee and literature. I won't drink drip coffee or standard starbucks brands anymore. just can't do it. I'll tolerate a french press, but I prefer a moka pot. I like kona coffee best (pref peaberry, medium to dark roast), but I really dig s. american coffee (mostly dark). I don't like the lighter bodied, citrusy shit. Most African coffee is too acidic for my tastes
for fiction, def a snob. I don't read Dean Koontz/Dan Brown/etc. I can get down with some Michael Crichton, but that's because I read him as a kid and it stuck - I don't like his writing much at all, more so his imagination. probably lowest brow writing I'll read is a Chuck Palahniuk caliber, but I tend to prefer the Salman Rushdies and William Boyds of the world, just such a brilliant attention to craft.
in a site so packed with opinion, surely there are more snobs about one thing or another?

I'm definitely a book snob because books take too long to read crap. I try not to judge those who do, but it's tough.
Most other things that I like I have weaned myself off being a snob with, though. And I like way too much music and beer and food and art and liquor to be called a snob about them.

anime - I hate the vast majority of newer anime, despite my otaku / weeab boarding persona, I only care for a handful of series that I consider good.
fighting games - I'm multi-faceted in snobhood about fighting games lol..
1)pls don't try to tell my that the ufc/boxing/wrestling sims are "fighting games". they aren't.
2) don't tell me you're 'good' at [game] if all you've done is beat your immediate group of friends/family and/or you grew up playing sf2 on a sega/super nintendo at home.
3) I play a few of the newer gen fighting games, but still feel they're shitty and cater to scrubby bull shit.
and shoes/clothes - more so incredibly picky, than snobby. like if you wanna wear jordan flights and fubu and whatever that I wouldn't be caught dead in, be my guest I wouldn't judge.. I just am very particular in what I wear.

lol Split does have a Ginobli vibe going on in that pic though.
I'm somewhat of a hip-hop snob irl, mostly because I don't come across as someone who listens to as much rap/hip-hop as I do, and I rarely encounter people who are likewise. So I do the Bags move and just nod my head and turn around when the time comes unless they drop a hint that they know what they're talking about. But on my fake life on NC, not so much, I tend to soak up what other people say about music more than try to assert my opinions.

I'd say he probably looks for sweeps more than subs. I'd guess his top subs would be arm triangles, arm bars, and any type of windpipe choke. Diode to verify?
