I believe you can say esnob. In Mexico, una persona fresa, is a stuck-up, snobbish person.

Don't be a snob = No seas fresa.

That fresa thing is lovely, David. I would say "No seas cursi"

Cursi would be the better way of saying snob, since it would be understood in more places. But in Mexico this usage of fresa is really common.

I've heard the word "pesado"/"pesao" used in Puerto Rico, to mean snobbish or stuck up.

Over here pesado means a pain in the neck.

I´ve heard the esnob option, but then, I thought that since almost all Spanish people pronounce the English "S" as "ES", my friend was only trying to speak English.

Now, I remember the cursi thing, Iris.
