high falutin

groundless assumption of a higher status or affectation than actually contained.

High falutin

Someone who is desperate to be special and above everyone, and thinks everyone admires them. They do thinks so people think they’re special, but they usually make an ass out of themselves trying to impress people.

James drives nice cars that he put on his moms credit card, and he removes the muffler to sound cool but really just makes an ass out of himself. No one is impressed by him, he is high falutin.
