Stuck up

Stuck up
 

A few related words/expressions :):

How do you say in Spanish :confused: :
- 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.

- Stuck-up? Snobbish; conceited.

--> Presumido, presuntuoso, pretencioso, petulante, pedante, vanidoso, engreído, creído...

@David: some of my favourite words are there. :D

Btw., Mexican slang can add, as it's been said, "fresa", but also "payaso" (yes, like a clown). ;)

Haha.. :D :thumbsup: :p
