As I understand how this thread has evolved, the definition of 'snob' is someone who is discerning about something. Here's my list:

- Books. More good ones have been written since 1851 than people have free hours in their lives. Don't waste time on bad ones.

- Music. I appreciate several genres from opera to jazz to Americana. But I invested a lot of time in my youth developing an understanding of what made music exceptional and developing a critical ear. Now I only listen to people who made important breakthroughs or interpret an idea in an original way.

- Travel. I want to see the remarkable places on earth. I'm reasonably far down the list. Won't make it to all of them. But may get close. So I don't invest my rare travel time in going to common places.

- Friends. I have many acquaintances. But I've only had a relatively few close friends since I was a young kid. It's enough.

- Salad dressing. I make my own.

Underrated. Olive oil and a good balsamic can be so delightful. Still have a soft spot for a good sneeze guarded salad bar ranch dressing. Has to be at least ruby Tuesdays quality. None of that shoney's crap.

Am I the only one that thinks a tie is worthless because it's completely non functional? I like a nice tie with a tie bar, but it's basically the equivalent of high class truck nuts of the apparel world.

Maybe that's just my modern architecture education/brainwashing talking.

Starting to become a snob about some of your lists.

Also, there's a distinct difference in being a snob and being obsessive-compulsive. A few of you might want to get that checked out.

Personally, I become a real snob when some city slicker(1st cousin) decides to start hitting on my sister in front of me. I put that hayseed in his place. I gave her a big wet kiss in front of him and grabbed her Apple bottom ***. You should of seen my cousin he was so pissed we didn't go fishin together for a week. I showed him

1. Being Dressed Appropriately for an Event. Dont wear cut offs to church or T-shirt to job interview, or flip flops to work. I dont care if someone wears tank tops, just the right setting.

2. Drivers who go the speed limit in the passing lane. I think they do not teach this anymore, that the passing lane is for passing. And the big signs that say slow traffic keep left.

3. Waiters who want to tell me their life stories. I dont care. I just want good service and food. Indian waiters are the best, they say absolutely nothing to you, table is always clean, drinks always full.

4. Quality Shoes. Spend the extra cash. They last longer
