Demean, or degrade.

Which verb do we say to state a condition of insulting in front of others. In a harsh way we say insult or humiliate can we use demean or degrade. And what if insult someone in a manner without using harsh words but in a sweet manners. I know there are idioms for it but I don't know exactly. Can you suggest some words and thesaurus for it. In conversation can I say.


You don't know anything except humiliating others in front of others.



I wonder whether you really understand what I tried to say?
