Supercilious

Tagged:

Unlike the way it sounds, supercilious does not mean "super silly". Instead, it actually means "haughtily disdainful or contemptuous". Come to think of it, those are some cool words too!

That word totally does not look like what it means, hehe.

Another way of looking at it

A good way to define this word is "super snobby." Their super-snobby superciliousness made them seem super silly.
