Sort of the Dunning–Kruger effect as applied to sophistication. A cognitive bias that individuals with somewhat limited cultural or worldly experience overestimate their own sophistication. A smug attitude as related to elegance, good taste, and sensibilities by someone who thinks they are all these things, but in fact are not. A "put on" or show of sophistication by someone who in fact lacks sophistication.
