Du var muligens ikke helt på jordet, Lille*My.

Fra Wikipedia (står riktignok "discredited"):

The usual and more familiar story, now discredited, is that "snob" was used as schoolboy slang at Eton College in the post-Waterloo generation, when many more sons of the rich manufacturers of the booming industrial revolution were joining the sons of the gentry. The "snobs" designated the group of boys who were not "nobs", the nobility, those who carried the designation "Hon." before their names if they did not actually carry a courtesy title. The "snobs" were those who, sine nobilitate—the former etymology ran— ("without a title to nobility"), carried themselves as "swells". By 1831, "nob" and "snob", whatever their current meaning at the time and their derivation, were clearly opposed social groups, for the Lincoln Herald (on 22 July, 1831) could declare "The snobs have lost their dirty seats - the honest nobs have got 'em."

Tusen hjertelig takk Claire, for at du reddet meg ut av mine gamle forelesningsnotater igjen :setter permen tilbake i hylla:
Det var denne vanlige, nå diskrediterte historien jeg hadde hørt en gang på nittitallet.
