I suppose I need to go look up the real definition of the word "snide", then. I always considered "snide" to be an adjective, meaning:
1. Derogatory or mocking in an indirect way: "snide remarks" I also considered "mean" to be on the list of synonyms for "snide". I do applaud your double entendre, "thick skinned". You have a literal thick-skin (butt-callouses) so you don't need bike shorts, and you have a metaphorical thick-skin so you aren't insulted by "derogatory or mocking" statements that aren't directed at you. Very well played. On Wednesday, August 14, 2013 12:13:42 PM UTC-7, Patrick Moore wrote: > > I think "diaper" is a great name for padded shorts and I don't think it is > mean at all. It's just snide.
