snotty-nosed
Sniffly and condescending
Snotty-nosed describes someone, usually a child, with mucus visibly running from the nose—the image of a kid who hasn't learned to use a tissue.
The term extends dismissively to anyone young and inexperienced: some snotty-nosed kid fresh out of college telling me how to do my job.
It suggests immaturity, presumptuousness, or both.
