What does SNIDE mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Mocking or critical in an unpleasant, sarcastic and often indirect way.
A snide comment usually pretends to be casual or even friendly while carrying a clear insult underneath, which makes it feel more cutting than an open criticism. People use a snide tone to belittle someone without inviting a direct confrontation, often through a raised eyebrow, a pointed word choice or exaggerated politeness. The word almost always carries disapproval of the speaker making the remark, not of the target.
