In this episode of the All Ears English podcast, Lindsay and Michelle discuss the meaning of the word "snob" and how it's used in different contexts. They differentiate between being a snob in general, which carries a negative connotation of believing oneself to be superior to others, and being a "something snob," like a coffee snob or wine snob, which can be more about having refined tastes or expertise in a particular area. They explore how expressing these interests can foster connection but also caution against being judgmental of others' preferences. The hosts provide examples of how the term is used, share personal anecdotes, and role-play a scenario to illustrate the nuances of using the word "snob" in conversation, emphasizing the importance of human connection and avoiding making others feel inferior.
