Pretentious

Adjective. Pretentious refers to a person or entity who carries an aura of pretense to everything they say and do. It's as though they're trying to milk every factoid or article they read, working them into conversations and social media updates, to portray themselves as godly or intelligent, or sometimes just plain superior. Because this is the ever-present pretense behind all their words and actions, conversation with them is limited only to: placating agreement to everything they say, or walking away before you lose your temper.
That pretentious guy who figured out how to tie his shoes before being taught, and thus feels he deserves a 50/50 stake in the creation of shoes: I believe Rick and Morty is a post-modernist, deconstruction critique of the bourgeois view on LiMiTeD uniVerSEs.

Public Pretender

A play on the word, "Public Defender". Ya see, it rhymes...real original, right? Basically, this is a poor retched soul that usually just graduated from law school. Being an attorney at the pubic defender's office is probably the worst job a lawyer could ever have. The "PD" as it's commonly called, usually attracts a couple of different types. One is the rich hippie or Trustafarrian, a disgruntled lawyer who was "targeted" when he/she was younger, some stupid white kid that thinks they can change the world, an ultra liberal Harvard graduate, or some poor twerp who couldn't get another job quick enough.
Raymone: "Man, I gots-ta-get a lawyer."

Laquisha: "Well what you bitchin at fool, call down to da PD's office and get ya one."

Raymone: "Naw, I don't want some Public Pretender to fuck all my shit up."
