When an excess of learning and cleverness makes someone arrogant and scornful.
Garden barbecue hosts, garden barbecue attendees, people who make loud slurping noises when drinking, those that yawn while making no attempt to cover their cake hole, gormless kents that stare as though hypnotised by their mobile phones, women who screech "oh my God" at every opportunity, anyone with a Liverpool accent, people who wear baseball caps sideways or back to front, numb nuts who utter they "want closure" and other annoying cliches like "whatever" when they're stumped for an original response, boring egg fans (is there any other kind?), those who are so useless they cannot or will not correctly pronounce where they live... examples: Landuff (Llandaff) and Bather (Beddau), John twatting Hartson (I fondly remember the deserved abuse he received at Ninny in a West Brom shirt) and Nicholas Witchell, that obsequious Royal Arse Licker by Appointment.
Whatever – repartee for the inarticulate.
I don't like Hartson either. He showed his true colours when he tried to boot his teammate's head out of the training ground at West Ham.
Isn't your list arrogant and scornful?
Or is that OK because you're not overeducated?
I'm so under educated I don't even understand what you have just written.
Not long ago I met an old friend I hadn't seen for a few decades and before the meeting I looked up his wife who he'd married since I knew him. I could see from the internet that she was a very clever show off. I knew she would be an "eye roller". Sure enough I said something at the meeting she didn't agree with and she did the eye rolling thing.
What about arrogant and scornful men?
They don't seem to roll their eyes. Not with me anyway.
Perhaps you aren't as patronising towards them
There do seem to be some people about who have a strange attitude towards educating women (I'm not saying you're one of them btw). My mother in law has some very old fashioned views in this respect - in her opinion a woman's main role is to find a husband and have kids and run a household - a career is secondary to that. If she encounters any highly educated women her immediate reaction is that it would put men off from wanting to marry them for some reason.
I can remember my fathers mother being around and soccer am was on.Perhaps you aren't as patronising towards them

Her face twisted up and she said they should leave news reporting to the men..........having a go at Helen Chamberlain.
Do you think it should come first?Perhaps you aren't as patronising towards them

a thread concerning teabagging and both Rs are straight in
Nan up ffs
Don't you start.
I think that's up to the woman isn't it?
Of course it is, so anyone that agrees with your mother in law does not have a 'strange attitude' or 'old fashioned views' then?
