I can't remember the word for the phrase don't — me












0















I can't remember the correct phrase you give someone if they are being overly nice to where it sounds condescending?



It would go like: don't --- me.



Would be a similar word to flatter or pander

Patronize (patronise)

I remembered the word!





  1. to behave towards (someone) in a way which is kind and friendly but which nevertheless shows that one thinks oneself to be more important, clever etc than that person.
    He's a nice fellow but he does patronise his assistants.




(The Free Dictionary)
