a word that has lost all its meaning to the Pretentious people that use it. its a gay a** word. A word that was popularized by Hollywood( The Pretentious of Pretentious people), has become a running force of that place.

A well-dressed middle aged man who drives a fancy car and always takes the stairs instead of the elevator because elevators are for lazy people and he's a working man. Probably a Trump supporter. Probably not actually as great as he thinks he his (or as rich).
Ugh, Steve is such a pretentious businessman. He always rolls his eyes at me when I choose to take the elevator instead of the stairs.

Someone who expects everyone to be friendly. Nobody owes it to anybody to be friendly or welcoming all the time, or to like/pretend to like every stranger they ever met. In life, if you make a few true friends, you have what some people pretend to have, and what many never get. Why would you need more than that? Why would you already like/love/trust somebody you never met, a stranger. Anybody who says they like/love/trust a stranger is pretending to like/love/trust a stranger.
Only a pretentious person would say they liked/loved/trusted someone they never met before/didn't know well. Someone who wanted everyone to assume they owed it to other people to like/love/trust everyone, including them.

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.

A gay man who often emphasizes their knowledge, fashion sense, or social status, sometimes in a way that comes off as condescending or exclusive. They may be seen frequenting trendy spots, making subtle judgments about others, and projecting an air of superiority.
Jarrett walks into a cocktail bar and orders a gimlet, "Isn't this supposed to be made with Nolet's Reserve Dry Gin? I can't taste the blend of botanicals, you know, saffron and verebena. Also, I don't drink WELL gin."
"The pretentious gays at that event made me feel like I didn’t belong."
