If you selected sanctimonious you’re right.  Sanctimonious implies you are self-righteous and feel that whatever you say is correct.  Some may call it pompous.

Listen Here!

Your viewpoint is sanctimonious I hope you can see,
That just because you think it, doesn’t mean others will agree
.

Follow the Braindrops down to discover the correct word!

Is this person coy, sanctimonious, or effacing?

It seems to me that you feel extremely highfalutin,
You’re much more like me than you are like Isaac Newton.
Not every word you speak is as precious as pure gold,
Your ego my dear needs to be immediately put on hold.
