snidest
Maximally slyly nasty
Snidest is the superlative of snide—the most snide.
Snide remarks are subtly mocking or derisive, conveying contempt through implication rather than direct insult.
The snidest comment in the room is the one dripping with the most veiled hostility: That was the snidest thing anyone said all evening.
