Adjective. Pretentious refers to a person or entity who carries an aura of pretense to everything they say and do. It's as though they're trying to milk every factoid or article they read, working them into conversations and social media updates, to portray themselves as godly or intelligent, or sometimes just plain superior. Because this is the ever-present pretense behind all their words and actions, conversation with them is limited only to: placating agreement to everything they say, or walking away before you lose your temper.
That pretentious guy who figured out how to tie his shoes before being taught, and thus feels he deserves a 50/50 stake in the creation of shoes: I believe Rick and Morty is a post-modernist, deconstruction critique of the bourgeois view on LiMiTeD uniVerSEs.
His imaginary best friend: That's so true.

Someone who tells you not to think about anything negative in life is pretentious.
The most cynical people in the world preach about hope, optimism, and a positive attitude about everything in life. Hope is what weak, pretentious people cling to when they have nothing left but desperation to overcome anything and anyone left.

A word which, as its name suggests, means putting on 'pretences'; pretending to be something other than what you are. (This is the original meaning)
In modern ignorance, the word is used to discriminate individuals who are perceived to have traits which render their identity more distictive than is deemed socially acceptable by wider society. This meaning of the word is a product of jealousy belonging to those who wish to justify their boring sameness by unfairly attacking those who distinguish themselves as having a sense of originality and freedom.
1) I once saw a lyre-bird trying to sound like a chainsaw on TV. Who knew animals could be so pretentious?
2) Once I met a woman called Angharad who wrote poetry, knew how to dance the tango, and could play the Flugelhorn! She didn't give a fuck when I called her a pretentious bitch, probably cos she knew I was right.
