douchebaggery
Acting insufferably smug
Douchebaggery is the behavior characteristic of a douchebag—arrogant, obnoxious conduct that demonstrates inflated self-importance and disregard for others.
The word captures a pattern of actions rather than a single instance: The level of douchebaggery at that bar was off the charts.
It's vulgar but widely understood, particularly among younger speakers.
