too hip for the room

When you have a clever or unique joke or remark that goes over everyone else's heads generally because they're too stupid to know what you're talking about.

Cindy: "I work in a department store. I'm a cashier."

Richard: "Oh, really? My father was a cashier. They threw him out of the army."

Cindy: (stares)

Gene: "Richard's too hip for the room."
