but I was not 100% sure I knew exactly what it meant,
hoity-toity, so I looked it up,
the
origin of the word is rhyming compound from English dialect hoit to play the
fool, first known use in 1668, the definition is thoughtless, giddy
behavior and in use as an adjective having or showing the insulting attitude of
people who think that they are better, smarter, or more important than other
people, in America also highfalutin could be used meaning seeming or trying to seem
great or important, so now I know.
