In DC we've refined "snobbish" to "smug". To a fine understated perfection.
First off, don't mention "college" ; a BA simply won’t do in DC. You might as well tell us you dropped out of high school.
I came out in DC at Mr Henry's Georgetown (not the trashy Georgetown Grill up the street!) I wasn't legal to drink but it was assumed you had power there. Happy Hour was all blue check starched tablecloths and young staffers in starched button-downs. Good lookers "going places". My best friend was the son of the Congressman from Maryland suburbs. We'd drive in from UMD right after class and drive home after happy hour except a couple nights at Louis Rogue. Then the Plus One, Pier 9, and the Eagle opened just as the war riots started and I had to go to school at Santa Cruz when UMD closed for riots. Many of us east coast preppys cloistered with the UC Santa Cruz hippies until our schools reopened a couple to three years later. (a lot of fun weekends at the Embarcadero Y!).
Every time I came back to DC from schooling the smugness was still strong as ever. And I've seen countless cycles of smug generations come through. all people "going places"....and they really do. From Al Gore to Pete Buttigieg, Susan Rice, and Doug Emhoff they all learned their refined smug here over many years.
