Is that a "punch buggy" moment, or a "Jinx!" moment?

Jinx, I think. At least, that's what my laughter was about. Well, that and the structure of it: This? This.

And is there a singular word for "intellectual snobbery"

I'm asking because today I've encountered both in different parts of the internet.

If it's about showing off knowledge and/or vocabulary, it's probably pedantry. Otherwise it's probably just snobbery.

Am I being a pedant in answering your question?

Is "punch buggy" the same as "slug bug" (which is rarer and rarer with fewer VW bugs on the road).

Condescension.

What are the big movies from then or earlier that have both no narration and as little exposition by the characters? (Asks the person who has seen embarrassingly few old movies).

Own thread territory but here is a great paper on it.

I think that I'd go with "elitism."

Yes, same idea.

 

[Cadence]

Yes, same idea.

Jinx seems very different so I was confused, unless it was analogizing to deciding whether the slugbug call was simultaneous or not (which I hadn't thought of until just now).

I think the question was whether we were playing a punch-buggy-type game, or if we'd just had the same idea at the same time.

Ah yes, another argument about "player agency." One of my favorite topics. These are always fun.
