This game is kind of like Jeff Foxworthy's "You might be a redneck if ......", except that
'redneck" is replaced with "pretentious ass".

Cool. Why don’t you begin?

You might be a pretentious ass... if you made it past the first 50 pages of Ulysses by James Joyce and still thought it was a good book.

You might be a pretentious ass... if you think the boring mediocre movie Citizen Kane actually deserves to be in the top ten list of "All Time Greatest Movies".

...... if you try using a French word that a French person wouldn't use.

You are definitely a pretentious ass .... if you have ever used the word disputatious rather than argumentative.

I don't know about 'pretentious ass'.

But maybe you might be inclined to over-confidence if you thought that you had access to a reliable means of deciding whether a given book should be dropped into the 'good book' box or the 'not good book' box, or that a judgment of that kind might be useful to potential readers of whatever happened to be the book in question.

The same goes for "the top ten list of "All Time Greatest Movies" ", I suggest.

And what is it that worries you about 'disputatious'? Sometimes that word can do a job that other words can't in conveying a certain attitude towards the person qualified by it in a piece of writing. It could even be used of me for writing this response to your posts ...

You might be a pretentious ass if you're a rude, insufferable prick to everyone around you but somehow pride yourself for "telling it like it is."

That would be me.

You might be a pretentious ass if you think you are 'woke'.
