A Superiority Complex is the belief that one holds some value (societal or monetary) over another and acts as if they were born from a golden womb. Superiority Complexes are often seen in low-income
neighborhoods when a member of
the community gains more capital than their neighbors, and is most commonly associated with upper-middle and 'upper' class members of society.
While often involving tradable goods or currency, Superiority Complexes can also stem from sexism and IS NOT limited to either sex. Anyone can be uppity, snooty, snobbish, or
pretentious. It doesn't fucking matter where you come from or what you were born as.

Man 1: "Just some Sketchers, but the memory foam-"
Man 2: "Uh, you might want to spend a little more next time, bud."
Man 1: "Why?"
Man 2: "Only the fashion-blind and poor wear Sketchers."
Man 1: "... The fuck? Does it really matter? You need to drop that
Superiority Complex."
