Vocabulary question no. 46: what do we call a person like that?
Hi all,
For some bizzare reason my post wasn't published here yesterday so I'm making another attempt.
What do we call a person who behaves in the following way?
This person never apologizes. Even if she's utterly wrong, she won't admit it. Instead, she's going to attack you and enter into word-for-word squabble. Her sense of pride is so overwhelmingly intense that you can't get a "sorry" from her. What's more, she's going to try to put all the blame on you. Even if she knows she's not right, she'll pretend she is.
I don't know what adjective I could use to describe a person like that...
uptight?
self-righteous?
egocentric?
opinionated?
smug?
I'd be grateful for your felp.
Cheers,

AvangiI'd call her "self-righteous!"Thanks Avangi. Are there any other suitable words describing such a person you could come up with?

I went through the list of synonyms, and didn't find anything that seemed on the mark.
