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.

sniff the cat

1. The act of tripping off a salvia divinorum high.

The term originated from a little known Taiwanese video game based on the movie "Kung Fu Hustle". In order for users to transfer from one instanced zone to another, the user would click a sleeping cat located in the game world. Upon clicking the sleeping cat, users would be prompted with "Sniff the cat?" accompanied by trippy East Indian music.

In a sense, this represented the user taking a psychedelic and transferring from one reality to another. An experience often had by those who smoke salvia.
Guy 1: Hey, want to sniff the cat?

Guy 2: Sure.
