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.

Get the inverse snobberymug. A small coastal town in the Wildlands, the area between Sommerlund and Durenor. Virtually the only settlement in the entire region. Like the Wildlands as a whole, Ragadorn is home to a motley crew of Szalls (a weak type of Giaks), pirates and outlaws.
Lone Wolf ends up stranded in the town after his ship sinks in Lone Wolf 2: Fire on the Water. He has to find a way to get transport east to Durenor, while avoiding the dangers of Ragadorn itself. There is also a board game, Ragadorn Ale-House Brawl, included in the Magnamund Companion guidebook. Ragadorn is the kind of place where a brawl would barely make the news, so the game is quite appropriate.
Nominally listed as the "capital" of the Wildlands, although this idea is largely empty in such a desolate and chaotic place.

Lone Wolf entered Ragadorn after being picked up by a pirate ship and taken there.
Travellers to Ragadorn are warned to be careful of dangers ranging from cut-throats to Helghast.

Concept used in the work of Michel Foucault, to denote the interchangeability and mutual supportiveness of power and knowledge. Because he thought a regime of power always constructs forms of knowledge and a regime of knowledge always institutes a regime of power, he fused the two words into a single concept.
For example, prisons are an example of a regime of power/knowledge: the observation of prisoners and the recording of different categories of criminality are in many ways identical with the process of incarceration itself, as a system of control of people's bodies and of physical spaces.

Mental asylums, schools, armies, etc. are all different examples of regimes of power/knowledge. The way in which people are recorded as elements in these discourses is connected to their subordination to or complicity in particular relations of power.

Get the power/knowledgemug. A Tolkien word. Variags are inhabitants of a country called Khand, in southern Middle Earth, between Mordor and Harad. They aren't Haradrim, and nothing really is said about them, which makes one wonder why Tolkien put them in at all. Maybe they were to have some crucial role in a book he never got around to writing? One website says the Variags were very loyal to Sauron whereas the Haradrim were just tricked. At least that makes a bit of sense. In fact I don't think we're even told they're humans. They might be orcs. Or elves. Or aaracokra. AAARRRRGGGHHHH!!!! someone tell me what a Variag is!!!!!!
The Variag ambassador was not very popular at the royal court of Gondor.
What the hell is a Variag?????
