I catch myself doing this all the damn time, and that's precisely what it is for me.

I suspect that's what it is for many of us. Most of us don't intend condescension, but I expect that doesn't make it any better ;)

Actually a pretty weak comeback, IMO. Just generically dismissive and rude with neither cleverness nor specificity. About the same level of sophistication as telling someone to shut up. There are better ways to be patronizing.

Honestly I think everyone would be happy with this is everyone did it but sadly often times people let their egos get too big and they have to brag about it and make the other person feel bad.
