Supercilious

Truly... if ever a word sounded the opposite of what it is, it's supercilious. Personally, I think this word should apply to "super-sillious" people; when in fact, it's rather the opposite.

according to Mirriam-Webster:

Definition of SUPERCILIOUS

: coolly and patronizingly haughty <reacted to their breach of etiquette with a supercilious smile>
su·per·cil·ious·ly adverb
su·per·cil·ious·ness noun

Though they may deny it, single-malt Scotch drinkers often take on a supercilious arrogance when they notice blended whisky drinkers with ice in their glasses.
