'snide remark' is the definition.
'gibe' can be an answer for 'remark' (gibe is a kind of remark). I am unsure of the 'snide' bit.

'coming back from the big shot' is the wordplay.
'coming back' is a reversal indicator.
'from' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'ebig' can be found hidden inside 'the big shot'.
'ebig' in reverse letter order is 'GIBE'.
