Holier than...

[Bolboreta]

A few days ago I heard a sentence that I'm almost sure was a saying (¿? Lo que quiero decir es: Hace unos días oí una frase que estoy casi segura de que era un dicho). I don't remember the last words, but the beggining was "Hollyer than..."

I would like to remember it and to know the meaning.

Thanks

I believe the phrase you are looking for is holier-than-thou

It usually refers to the negative description of a self-righteous attitude someone holds.

Se traduce como nuestro "Mas papista que el papa"

Literacola esta correcto.
