This is a British expression of contempt. The original Barbara Cartland was a British female author who wrote incredibly predictable, dated chick lit; she was well-known for a number of reasons:-
She had the longest entry in “Who’s Who”;
She believed that, despite her age and decrepitude she was incredibly attractive to the male sex;
Under no circumstances could she possibly be wrong;
The meaning has now broadened and is used to describe any pretentious, arrogant, unattractive female with delusions about her looks, talent, knowledge etc. Should you meet one usher her into the nearest padded cell with a forked vermin stick and arrange for NASA to send her on a probe to Jupiter.

Kim’s had a letter published in a free newspaper, now she’s acting like she’s an ace reporter!

Get the Lizzy Caplan mug.The condition in which your (or someone else's) cat settles into your lap, and you can no longer move. It's a serious condition, resulting in being unable to go to the washroom or get your own beverages until the condition is resolved (the cat gets up and moves).
I currently have CatLap, and haven't been able to do anything for hours. Maybe she'll move soon? Send coffee.

Get the CatLap mug.British expression of contempt. Originally a British female author who wrote incredibly predictable chick lit and was famous for a number of reason, such as having the longest entry in the publication "who's Who"; a belief that despite advanced age and decrepitude she was incredibly attractive to the male sex; the belief that under no circumstances could she possibly be wrong. Now expanded in use to describe any pretentious, arrogant, unattractive female with delusions about her looks, talent, knowledge and so on. If you see one coming towards you run as fast as possible in the other direction or arrange for her to be abducted by aliens and taken to a far galaxy.
Jane's had a poem published in a free magazine, now she's acting like she's won the Nobel prize for literature.

Get the caitlan mug.Caelan is a Gaelic name, thus means he is a “strong warrior”. Caelan is someone who will be quiet and silent when those around him are strangers but when with friends, he’s a party machine. Caelan will mostly be playing video games with mates or out with family. People named Caelan are usually straight. Caelan is sexy, hot, down to earth, funny, cringeworthy and someone you should date!
Omg caelan is really hot, I wished he asked me out!
Look! It’s Caelan, he’s really cool and down to earth.
Hey Caelan! Do you want to play video games?
