wise-ass
Mouthy know-it-all
A wise-ass is someone who makes sarcastic, smartass remarks—clever but annoying comments that show off rather than help: Don't be a wise-ass.
As an adjective, it describes such behavior: a wise-ass comment.
The term is mildly vulgar and almost always disparaging, though friends may use it affectionately.
