Holier-than-thou

When a person has taken the moral high-ground or are just up themselves, they are being "Holier-than-thou". Holier-than-thou literally means, holier than me or better than me.

Just because I made one stupid mistake doesnt mean Britney gets to give me this holier-than-thou attitude!

holier-than-thou

Refers to someone that is stuck-up, or a snob. They must ALWAYS be the leader, and they are always a good leader. Ironically, they always have numerous faults, but never EVER admit to them.

holier than thou douchebag

An individual who has an over-inflated sense of self worth because of their conspicuous convictions in a higher power.

I'm sick of that holier than thou douchebag telling me it's okay that I'm a sinner.
