"Smug" means to be very prideful, full of oneself, believing you are superior to others. Smug is considered a negative trait and an insult if someone were to call you "smug." If you decide to use this word, be careful because you could really offend someone. Here are a couple of examples of "smug" being used. Ex: He is so smug. He thinks he is better than anyone else. Ex: I hate how smug she can be. Thanks for the great question!
