Know It Alls

In private, Boehner has grown tired of what he dismissively calls the "know-it-alls who have all the right answers." ❋ Karoli (2011)

That is not to say that he neglects fact-finding and research; he consults a battery of military know-it-alls ( "Monday morning academics") around the country and, when commissioned to do a painting for a regiment, asks for uniforms and weaponry to be brought to him, as well as sends preliminary sketches for approval. ❋ Daniel Grant (2010)

Have-a-go heroes or interfering know-it-alls, we're not sure, but we do know one thing: Britain would be overrun with cunning killers without them. ❋ Maxine (2009)

I have a low tolerance for "know-it-alls" but I guess we can't get rid of those folks either. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Finally, the M.M.I. helps the universities weed out the people who might get good college grades and good scores on the Medical College Admission Test, but be "insufferable know-it-alls who bully nurses and do not listen to patients." ❋ Ellen Galinsky (2011)

In bewilderment I turned to Wikipedia—that vast repository of knowledge contributed by academics, know-it-alls and idealists of various sorts—where I found that "brassiere or bikini-like garments are depicted on some female athletes in the 14th century BC during the Minoan civilization era." ❋ Unknown (2011)

However after following on Twitter, you just seem like “know-it-alls” willing to tear down the fans that help you with your job in the fandom. ❋ Unknown (2010)

But rather than listen to the grievances of Tottenham or Handsworth or, yes, Edmonton, the metropolitan know-it-alls are riding in on their own hobby horses. ❋ Unknown (2011)

Why should we listen to new ideas from these unelected know-it-alls if they won't listen to new ideas from our elected leaders? ❋ Unknown (2009)

"Ann: "I think Jerry needs some tylenol and-" Pat: "No, No, Ann! When someone feels that way, you need to get them some chicken noodle soup." Elaine: "Well, I'm going to [feed the bird] so-" Pat: "NO, NO, ELAINE! For a bird like this, you only feed it three to four times a day and you want to give it honey." Ray : "I'm going to run out and get some tools to-" Pat : "Ray, that's rubbish. To fix a bicycle, you have to use old dirty tools. New tools don't get the job done these day. It's the old fashioned kind that will get the job done." Janice : "Pat, [quit it]. You're being an motherfucking know it all. [Quit it]. [QUIT IT]!" ❋ Leo Bos (2008)

[I know] what a [know-it-all] is because [I am one]. ❋ Meen5 (2011)

(Note: there are countless ways to seem knowledgeable on a subject as by behaving correctively and correcting people all the time, giving unwanted advice, expressing opinions as fact, not accepting advice or information from others, etc., but when there are also indicators that one doesn't know what they're talking about, they're considered [a know it all] or engaging in know it all behavior) "Even though I'm only fifteen and I've never held a job before I want you to listen to me carefully; on your interview, if you're not sitting cross [legged], they won't hire you. If you don't nod, they won't hire you. Employers hate when you don't wear [a tie]. Companies these days aren't into what's on your application. Employers these days are real into the whole look aspect of it all. [Take it from me]," said my know it all son before I handed him his schoolbag and replied, "Shut up and go to school, dear!" I found it shocking that some know it all [bum out] on the street was telling me how to handle my taxes the right way. I try very hard not to seem like a know it all when discussing scientific matters; I provide evidence and back up what I'm saying and explain to others of my [college experience] in the field. That way, people regard me as knowledgeable and not a know it all. ❋ Rick Warwick (2008)

"Hahahahaha! Trigonometry. That old stuff. You're having a tough time with that," laughed my know-it-all sister, Megan. "Well students. You actually have to discern the entomological aspects of it." "Well, DUH! [No shit, Sherlock]. If you can't, that's pretty sad," said [a know-it-all] in the class. "I don't get how to fix the TV," said my father. "Omg! You don't know how to fix a [TV set]. Lmao! Who doesnt know how to fix a TV set, take it apart and put it back together again. That's so obvious." Abby said "no duh" to nearly everything she heard during the study on insects. She is such a know-it-all. "All you do to fix it, is turn it off and then tighten some of the wiring. Duh," said Kya. Kyra had never tried fixing a computer in her life. She was just acting like a know-it-all. ❋ MikeZatin (2008)

Ann: "I'll get Jerry some [tylenol] and-" Pat: "Actually, when someone feels this way, what they need is [chicken noodle soup] and crackers." Amber: "I'll run to the store and-" Pat: "ACTUALLY making it from scratch is much more healthy than going out to the store and getting it." Mark : "Pat, quit being [a know-it-all]. Yo momma!" ❋ Man Tolam (2008)

Mother , father, and daughter are in the room. "What is wrong." Father asked. "[I'm sick]. [I don't feel so good]." mother answered. "It' s not ,'I don't feel good', it's I don't feel well "daughter said. "Don't be such a know it all" said [the mother]. ❋ Sour Grapes I Hate Kias (2016)

please do not [confuse] a know-it-all with a [pundit], or someone that is [blowing fairy dust up your skirt]. they are 3 completely different things. ❋ Sexydimma (2014)

[Jerry] is [a know it all] because he [argues] with emma because [jerry] thinks he knows more about science than her. ❋ TheAwesomeJUNK (2019)
