How do you say in Spanish : - Stuck-up? Snobbish; conceited. - Self-absorbed? A person who cannot stop thinking about themselves, and constantly reminds all others around them of their good and bad qualities. - Self-important? Having or manifesting an exaggerated idea of one's own importance or merit.

In Mexico, to say someone is stuck up, they usually say that person's a "fresa," (atleast in the Yucatán). En cuanto a "self-absorbed," they would say "engreído." I might be confusing the terms a little bit, to me they are pretty much synonymous.

@David: some of my favourite words are there.
Btw., Mexican slang can add, as it's been said, "fresa", but also "payaso" (yes, like a clown).
