contemptuous

Contemptuous means feeling or showing strong dislike and disrespect for someone or something. It's like being very annoyed with them, but in a way that's more than just irritation – it's an actual sense of looking down on them.

When we say someone is acting contemptuously towards another person, we usually mean they're being really rude or condescending. This can be seen in the way they talk to the other person, making fun of their ideas or laughing at something that's important to them. It might even be about how they treat others with a general sense of superiority, like thinking they're better just because of who they are.
