Default civil rights history quiz

And, I specifically asked how you define it. You must have a definition
that doesn't match what Doug's is or you wouldn't have been offended
by Doug's use of it.

What do you define as snooty?


Not my word. It was Doug's, and yours by adoption. Like Humpty, each of

you
is master of his own words.

Now if you were to ask what I think most people would think the denotation
of "snooty school" is I'd say they'd probably think of the Ivies, the

potted
Ivies, MIT, Chicago, and perhaps a few others. A few would probably also
think of the so-called "finishing schools." I doubt that many would think

of
Oral Roberts Univ., Grove City or others who refuse gummint money as
"snooty" schools.

But if you choose to use the word so, who am I to say nay. I was simply
exploring your use to see whether your word had any content other than its
pejorative connotation.
