	Snob - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The usual and more familiar story, now discredited, is that "snob" was used as schoolboy slang at Eton College in the post-Waterloo generation, when many more sons of the rich manufacturers of the booming industrial revolution were joining the sons of the gentry.
		It is agreed, however, that the word "snob" broke into broad public usage with William Makepeace Thackeray's Book of Snobs, a collection of satiric sketches that appeared in the magazine Punch and were collected and published in 1848.
		Thackeray's definition of "snob" then: "He who meanly admires mean things is a Snob." The "mean things" were the showy things of this world, like a secretaryship in the Queen's Cabinet, where Prime Ministers invariably retired as earls.

	The Ultimate Snob Dog Breeds Information Guide and Reference
		A snob, guilty of snobbery or snobbism, is a person who imitates the manners, adopts the world-view and apes the lifestyle of a social class of people to which that person does not by right belong.
		A snob is perceived by those being imitated as an "arriviste", perhaps nouveau riche, and the elite group closes ranks to exclude such outsiders, often by developing elaborate social codes, symbolic status and recognizable marks of language.
		"Snob" began as schoolboy slang at Eton in the post-Waterloo generation, when many more sons of the rich manufacturers of the booming industrial revolution were joining the sons of the gentry.

		Each of these writers played a distinctive role in the transformation of the literary snob from a vulgar social climber into a master of taste.
		By portraying snobs in their novels, they attempted to critique and even transform the cultural and economic institutions that they felt isolated them from the broad readership they desired.
		Drawing on the tools and insights of literary sociology and cultural studies, he traces the nineteenth-century origins of the "snob," then explores the ways in which modernist authors developed their own snobbery as a means of coming to critical consciousness regarding the connections among social, economic, and cultural capital.

	AskOxford: What is the origin of the word 'snob'?
		We are often told that this originated as an abbreviation for the Latin phrase sine nobilitate 'without nobility', used to mark out those of a humble social background.
		But the word snob (or in Scotland snab) is first recorded in the late 18th century as a term for a shoemaker or his apprentice.
		At about this time it was indeed adopted by Cambridge students, but they did not use it to refer to students who lacked a title or were of humble origins; they used it generally of anyone who was not a student.

	Questions & Answers: Snob
		The Victorian author William Makepeace Thackeray pretty much invented this sense through his series of articles in Punch in the 1840s called The Snobs of England by One of Themselves, which was republished as The Book of Snobs in 1848.
		In this he dissected the character of various types of English snobs, such as the military snob and the country snob.
		Later still snob was applied to a person who despised others whom he saw as being of lower rank, a sense that is first recorded in one of George Bernard Shaw’s works in 1911.
