I could say "This was dancing, not Karaoke we're talking about", but truth is it never crossed my mind.
FunkyTuba:
ya know.. maybe Padma's just having a good time.
Is it cold in here?:

In any event, can you be condescending inside your own head? Faye is thinking, not speaking or acting in a condescending manner.

I read the original post without thinking twice about it, but now that you've asked, my native-speaker intuition is floundering for an answer.
Anyone else think that condescension can be an attitude as well as a type of action?

Most definitely. In fact, I think of it as an attitude that leads to an action.
But I want to see how things turn out in the next few comics. If I've learned anything about QC, it's that a burning fuse rarely leads to an explosion -- at least right away.
St.Clair:
I think that counts as a bird strike, yeah.
And add me to the ranks. Like many other social customs, I (used to) know the SCA version but not the modern equivalents - I could manage a round or even a pavane, but you'd have to drag me out onto a nightclub floor (not an easy task, considering my weight and stubbornness).
