Usually a very petty person with a limited point of view and absolutely no patience. One that thinks that the express lane is only for them!
A pretentious customer is one to think it is okay to cut in front of everyone with a full cart through the speed lane because they don't want to wait in that long line over there. I'm a special snowflake.

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."

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

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.

The guy everyone knows who believes he's more intelligent than he actually is. More condescending and judgemental than yo momma after you callin from jail needing bailed out. Spends most of his time playing league of legends in his parents basement and being rejected by tinder girls.

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.
