inverse snobbery 

Thinking you're better than other people because you're working class, have a regional accent, don't use big words, read tabloid papers, or for other reasons which are opposite to those which would be involved in "snobbery" in the usual sense.
The argument that people who live in "rough" areas are the only ones who "know" about crime and that everyone else should shut up is just an example of inverse snobbery.

Woppery Snobbery 

An egocentric disorder peculiar to Italian Americans. Obviously their food is tastier; their cars are faster and nobody can run a bookie joint better than a member of the Woppery Snobbery order.
Paulsy: Who in the hell cares if I put cottage cheese in my lasagna? The Italians think they invented food preparation and shit; they've all got freakin' Woppery Snobbery.

Chronological Snobbery 

"chronological snobbery," the uncritical assumption that her mother is hotter, whether or not this fact has been discredited. You must find why it has been discredited. Was it ever refuted (and if so by whom, where, and how conclusively) or did this opinion merely die away as fashions do? If the latter, this tells us nothing about its truth or falsehood of her hotness relative to her mom.
Bro 1:"Dude, her mom is a cougar, so much hotter. MILF."
Bro 2: "You need to get over your chronological snobbery."
