SNOB. Which is more apt to be one? The truthteller or the liar? Why?

SNOB

"A person who imitates cultivates or slavishly admires social superiors and is condescending or overbearing to others"

"A person who believes himself or herself an expert or connoisseur in a given field and is condescending toward or disdainful of those who hold other opinions or have different tastes"... regarding a subject object noun pronoun preposition or derivatives thereof. To whit forsooth.

The part outside the quotes is all me
not the dictionary. As if you couldn't guess.

"First used as a nickname for a cobbler or cobbler's apprentice, hence a townsman, someone of low class or lacking good breeding; a commoner. Hence someone who imitates persons of higher rank."

In other words a phony.
