English Language & Usage Asked on January 4, 2021
I heard these lines in several places – Don't patronize me
.
what does this exactly mean? Checked the definition on google.
But I couldn’t get a feel for it.
The definition of patronize you need is the third one—to treat in a condescending manner, as though you were a not very smart or capable person.
tr.v. pa·tron·ized, pa·tron·iz·ing, pa·tron·iz·es

As the first two definitions show, a sponsor or customer can be called a patron.
