The internet slang term “pretentious” refers to someone or something that tries to appear more important, skilled, or cultured than they actually are, often to gain attention, respect, or admiration from others.
Examples:
– Example 1:
Person A: Did you see the new post by that Instagram influencer claiming they’re a self-made millionaire?
Person B: Yeah, it’s so pretentious! They’re just trying to impress people with their assumed wealth and success.
– Example 2:
Person X: I met someone who won’t stop talking about foreign films and art exhibits.
Person Y: Ugh, sounds pretentious. They’re probably just trying to show off their supposed cultural knowledge.
