What does patronising mean? In case she...:innocent:

It means

 

(used of behavior or attitude) characteristic of those who treat others with condescension. In case RedM dont know himself :D

 

Patronising people would talk to you in a way that made you feel infantile, explaining things childishly simple. Making you out to be stupid or below them.

 

So this just makes me want to treat him like a child. If he wants to be spoken to like a grown up he should have bit more manners and speak to people the way he expects to be spoken to back.
