Pretentious

A word that douchebags use all the time in an attempt to sound intelligent. Usually the subject that the douchebag is using the word, "pretentious" against will have you asking yourself if they even know what the word means.
Douchebag: "I think that, "(Insert a name of a good show here)" is pretentious and overrated!"
Normal Person: "I really just think that the writers are just trying to entertain an audience, why exactly is it pretentious?
Douchebag: "(Couldn't Answer)"

Pretentious

A guy who got into a fight with a bear and told you about it.
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.
