Patronise has several meanings but, judging from your question, it was probably used in the sense that the speaker conveyed an apparent kindness from the literal meaning of the words spoken but meant the opposite.
"She's a peach", he said patronisingly. Meaning that she is awful.
Yellow-bellied means cowardly.
"You yellow-bellied son of a bitch!", meaning you cowardly, well … work the rest out for yourself.

It can mean "patrocinare" in the arts sense but it's most common in it's negative form, i.e. when someone meets a disabled person and they start to speak loudly and slowly, assuming that person is mentally challenged.
