Self-Important Sniff

A quick and audible nasal inhalation made after making a declarative statement about a topic that one's audience supposedly knows little and/or the sniffer considers himself/herself somewhat of an expert. The self-important sniff serves as punctuation to a statement that is typically unquestionable as the sniffer may attempt to pass opinion off as fact. It is typically used by hipsters, although it is also used mockingly, and to some comedic effect, on the Adam Carolla Podcast, as well as The Film Vault (podcast) by hosts Bald Bryan and Dick Anderson.

That self-important bitch just cut in front of us in line; she's too busy lunchmeating on her cell phone to notice anyone but herself.

your call is important to us

Perhaps the biggest bit of corporate and public-sector BS ever foisted upon us as middle- and lower-economic class people. Usually indicates that you'll have to endure ten to thirty minutes of bland wallpaper music or loops of repeated advertisements before a real human voice gets on the phone.
I tried to call my insurance company to find out about their rates for fire insurance, but all I got was "your call is important to us"!

YOU ARE IMPORTANT

It's not the fact that you hate yourself
It's the fact that you hate others
But your hate for others isn't a hate of evil it's a hate of the not changeable

And the impossibility isn't a fault of yours
It's a fault of theirs
Using their ears not their minds
Using their eyes not their hearts
Changing something you can't
Living how you can
Not how you want
It's not a hate of selfishness,
But rather a hate of impossibility
Which drives you towards unthinkable things
The unthinkable things making them feel bad

They who decided to leave you in the dust
And flaunt their luckyness in your face
They don't deserve what they have good
Because it's you who'd never take advantage of that gift
They have too much
You too little
Why not even it out?
That is what drives you to the unthinkable
That few people are there for you
Looking at people who smirk at their blessings
When you'd not do the same
The thought that they are not deserving
They had their share of popularity
They had their share of looks
Had their share of gold
Your negative thoughts creeping in
Driving you closer to the unthinkable
But how can those negative thoughts not
When you have so much less?
You feel bad because you know what you have
But you still think about what you want
There's a difference between you and them
You respect what you have
They don't deserve for you to do the unthinkable
You are you
They don't deserve for you to be like them

You need something better
You need you
You are important
Don't give up on yourself
You're understood

I thought this would be important to bring up, because it's a tragedy

It might sound super duper important, but its really not

Typically said by people of a sub-average IQ in relation to things that are indeed, rather important.
Dude 1: Hey man you should probably look at applying for some jobs?
Dude 2: It might sound super duper important, but its really not

Chick 1: Hey sis you should probably not do drugs and then drive around, the police might catch you!
