Is that a British thing? I don't think I've ever heard that before.
British slang for pretentious apparently
arrogant, cocky, know it all, etc

*Strokes non-existent beard and nods wisely* I am reminded of Wittgenstein's discussion of the impossibility of necessary and sufficient criteria for something to be an RPGs (okay, game) in his Philosophical Investigations:
Quote
"And one has to say this in many cases where the question arises “Is this an appropriate description or not?” The answer is: “Yes, it is appropriate, but only for this narrowly circumscribed region, not for the whole of what you were claiming to describe.” It is as if someone were to say: “A game consists in moving objects about on a surface according to certain rules . . .” — and we replied: You seem to be thinking of board games, but there are others. You can make your definition correct by expressly restricting it to those games.
