Look at me, I'm from England, I use words like whilst and put the letter "U" in unnecessary places! I'm such a pretentious cunt!

Ex: when you say something incorrectly but everyone knows what you’re trying to say and your boyfriend corrects you in front of them. He’s being pretentious.

Pretentious guy- That wasn't really venison we had for dinner. That was the bear I beat to death with my bare hands and skinned alive so that my family and guest could eat well.
Unsuspecting guest-And look at you, you still have a head, that's awesome!
Pretentious guy-Yea well I'm not one to brag or show off, I prefer to let my guns do the talking. These guns on my shoulders took the bears life, now his bear mommy misses him.

a very contagious word. people who use the word pretentious are usually pretentious themselves. People who blame things for being showy and pretentious usually do so to indirectly say they are not pretentious themselves which is pretentious. People who use the word are also pretentious because the word pretentious is a big word that shows intellectualism. Pretentious just means showy, over the top, egotistic without proof, or psuedo intellectually acting smart but not really being smart. fans of the band tool are pretentious.
Gimmicks are pretentiously unique. The cool philosophical book smart kids at the coffee shop are pretentious. The weird artsy film is pretentious because it didn't make sense but showed fake intellectual property. the boy who wanted to look rich but didn't own much money is pretentious. the druggie kids who think they are smarter than everyone are pretentious. people who rant a lot of politics but do nothing are pretentious. and finally i'm pretentious for saying all those people are pretentious because i have nothing to show for myself either.

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.
