A person who is in love with himself/herself and his/hers oppinions and displays this by showing subtle contempt of people of a different opinion, class or personality. He/she also belittles other people and his/her relations to them aren't even skin deep, but merely superficial consisting mostly of remarks and comments the smarmy person thinks are cute, but which makes ordinary people sick. The smugness of a smarmy person is almost as big as his/her ego (which is enormous). A smarmy person usually doesn't have a real reason for his/her behavior, but it makes him/her feel important.

Piers Morgan is the real-world living definition of the word smarmy.

Smarmy

Forwardly and unknowingly exuding lightly overbearing and somewhat slimy behavior. One who would stab you in the back if he or she could get away with it. One who would sell their own mother's soul for benefit and/or attention. A subtle scumbag, sleezball, wretch, or creepshow.

If that smarmy guy comes by my desk again today, I hope I am away at a meeting.

smarmy

A certain attitude often accompanied by a squinty look and a superior smile that makes you instantly hate a person. Similar to snobby.

He/she/it is totally smarmy, I want to punch them in the face.

smarmy

behavior not unlike Eddie Haskell (in Leave It To Beaver) or Tristan Farnon (in All Creatures Great and Small)

being a slimy, two-faced, back-stabbing, ego-centric arse

It's a wonder such a smarmy putz survives long enough to reproduce.
