Somebody that wishes they lived back in the old days when legs got amputated by saws that had no power and people had to knock sense into the one kind of person who never got it without getting hit in the head with a 2×4.
The pretentious girl wanted to perpetuate an inauthentic tough image of someone that every now and then needed someone to hit them in the head with a 2×4 to knock sense in them, but also wanted an inauthentic image of someone that liked expensive clothes cars, and drinks. There was no good reason she was always acting tough, just like there was no good reason she was always going back and doing the opposite by trying to get people to indulge, spoil, and pamper her like a Disney princess, a cartoonish and unrealistic expectation of what people should do for her.

Somebody that pretends to love people they don't really love and support things they don't really hold sacred, from LGBT rights, feminism, mental illness, and other causes to spiritual causes, all to promote an extraverted, sociable image that is not really them. Someone that tells a broad audience of people that don't know them well that they are one way, when really they are another when nobody is around.
The pretentious girl was introverted when nobody was around, but tried to make herself look extroverted and fun when there was an audience of her suckers she was trying to play around, as they were a path to power for her.

Get the pretentious mug.
Someone who's not really friends with a group of people, but goes around like they've known the people their entire lives. Someone who tries to convince an unconvinced world that they're sharks and not minnows.
The pretentious girl walked around town with a group of people like they owned it, and she tried to convince other people they were her best friends.

People with a pretentious mindset usually have a pretentious personality to go with it, but pretentious is more of a mindset.

Pretentious isnt much different than superficial, though it's more of a mindset than a personality. It's a mindset that isnt based in authenticity or reality.

Someone who compares a basketball game to bullfighting, a war, or a fight with bears or wolves. Teams don't surrender points, and logos/symbols of a team were created by people trying to market the team, which is why pretentious people make comparisons to other events, and other people don't think that way.
Pretentious people try to make a sports game more than a sports game, when really the world doesn't revolve around sports, even for sports fans.
