2. One who expresses their unproven opinions and ideas as if they're obvious known facts as if others should have known a long time ago.

"Hahahahaha! Trigonometry. That old stuff. You're having a tough time with that," laughed my know-it-all sister, Megan.
"Well students. You actually have to discern the entomological aspects of it." "Well, DUH! No shit, Sherlock. If you can't, that's pretty sad," said a know-it-all in the class.
"I don't get how to fix the TV," said my father. "Omg! You don't know how to fix a TV set. Lmao! Who doesnt know how to fix a TV set, take it apart and put it back together again. That's so obvious."
Abby said "no duh" to nearly everything she heard during the study on insects. She is such a know-it-all.
"All you do to fix it, is turn it off and then tighten some of the wiring. Duh," said Kya. Kyra had never tried fixing a computer in her life. She was just acting like a know-it-all.

Get the It’s the end of the world as we know it mug.pejorative One who makes it appear as if they're an expert on a subject while there are also signals (subtly or blatantly noticeable) that this person doesn't know very much on the subject or at least as much as they're acting like they do on the subject; pretending to have much knowledge on a subject matter
(Note: there are countless ways to seem knowledgeable on a subject as by behaving correctively and correcting people all the time, giving unwanted advice, expressing opinions as fact, not accepting advice or information from others, etc., but when there are also indicators that one doesn't know what they're talking about, they're considered a know-it-all or engaging in know-it-all behavior)
"Even though I'm only fifteen and I've never held a job before I want you to listen to me carefully; on your interview, if you're not sitting cross legged, they won't hire you. If you don't nod, they won't hire you. Employers hate when you don't wear a tie. Companies these days aren't into what's on your application. Employers these days are real into the whole look aspect of it all. Take it from me," said my know-it-all son before I handed him his schoolbag and replied, "Shut up and go to school, dear!"
I found it shocking that some know-it-all bum out on the street was telling me how to handle my taxes the right way.
I try very hard not to seem like a know-it-all when discussing scientific matters; I provide evidence and back up what I'm saying and explain to others of my college experience in the field. That way, people regard me as knowledgeable and not a know-it-all.

Get the know-it-all mug.Can be thought of as just extremely liberal college students, where there are shrooms, acid, lots of pot, "hippy"-clothes, classic rock, etc., involved. Can be hardcore, but not nearly as hardcore as the hippies of yesterday. While real hippies have a totally different kind of lifestyle than the average American, College Know-It-All Hippies are just college students who usually come from upper middle-class families where their parents pay for them to go to school, which goes against what actually makes a real-life hippy.
Free speech applies to them and them only--not those dirty, filthy conservatives. They tend to talk about moving outside of the United States, because life in America has treated them oh so terribly (even with Freedom of Speech/Freedom of Expression, which is what these new hippies are based on). They pick out the government's flaws, and they tend to know very little about how money, government, other types of authority work, and then they have the "fuck government/all corperations" mentality based on those little pieces of "knowledge." Many CKIAH tend to think that freedom of expression and freedom of speech mean "I can do whatever I want, and if you complain, you're just a normal person, and being normal is a very bad thing." Many of them actually believe in movies like Loose Change, or any other 9/11-was-a-government-conspiracy BS. Last, they tend to read a lot of books where they say they get their fascinating knowledge, when really, they only read them because the books agree with them--I mean hey, they're know-it-alls.

Tripping CKIAH: "Look man, 9/11 was a government conspiracy! They flew planes into their own World Trade Center, and then the United States tried to destroy their own military! Then they KILLED soldiers by going to war! See what I mean man? Bush is evil!"
