Being a pig on its hind legs

To make yourself seem more important than a certain group of people despite being little to no different than them.

This originates from George Orwell's novel "Animal Farm", a novel about animals revolting against humans and taking over the farm they were once oppressed in, only for the pigs to later seize all power and end up being even worse than the humans before them.

"It was a pig walking on its hind legs."

- Chapter 10
Guy 1: "Mate, those guys don't study at all! All they do is party!"
Guy 2: "Quit being a pig on its hind legs, all I see you do is be on your PC and failing your exams."
