stuck up

Too good, apparently

Stuck up describes someone who acts superior or snobbish, treating others as beneath them.

The term suggests an inflated sense of self-importance: She's too stuck up to talk to us.

Often hyphenated when used before a noun: a stuck-up attitude.

The image is of a nose held high in the air.
