snottiness
Stuck-up behavior pattern
Snottiness is the quality of being snotty—arrogant, condescending, or rudely superior.
The word connects literal mucus to figurative attitude: a snotty child has a runny nose, but a snotty *manner* suggests someone looking down their nose at others.
The snottiness of the salesclerk made me leave without buying anything.
