- Is there any slang meaning for the word "snake"?
I know what is snake, but I wonder if there is any slang meaning of this word?
crwdns2631929:0crwdne2631929:0
“Snake” can be used as a slang term to describe someone who is deceitful. “Tom was a snake when he told the boss I was late for work”. I’m not sure how common it is used. It’s not a term I ever use or hear.

- Are the words "condescending" and "patronizing" synonyms?
I don't understand if I can use "condescending" and "patronizing" interchangeably? Or is there any difference between them?

Hello Ewan, You can use both of them in the same way and the meaning is quite similar yes. I would just point out that most of the time 'condescending' is used with a negative connotation meaning 'superior or arrogant' whereas 'patronising' is not commonly used in that way, on the contrary its meaning might be one of the 'supportive' somehow. Greetings and thanks for your question,
- What preposition is correct to use with "speak"? Speak with or speak to?
I have no idea if there is any difference between "speak to" or "speak with". Which option is correct?

“Speak to” is used when the two people speaking are at different levels, one is in a position of power over the other “My boss speaks to me about working late”. “Speak with” is used when the two peple are at the same levels “ I speak with my friend about our favourite actor”.
