wiseass
Insufferably clever person
A wiseass is someone who makes clever, sarcastic, or mocking remarks, often at inappropriate moments.
The term is mildly vulgar and usually conveys annoyance with the person's attitude rather than genuine offense.
It functions both as a noun Don't be such a wiseass and as an adjective I'm tired of your wiseass comments.
