Are you a snob? Groucho Marx is your measuring stick

I mean "snobbish," of course, not in the sense of a mere 

preference for social altitude, but in the fuller sense explicated by Girard. the one whose foundational principle is Grcucho Marx's :

I wouldn't belong to any club that would have me as a member": 

it is the tacit evacuation of the position of self that makes snob relations such a useful model for understanding sentimental relations.
