Know-it-all \Know"-it-all`\, n.
One who knows everything; hence, a person who makes
pretension to great knowledge, especially one whose didactic
conversational habit conspicuously reveals his belief that he
has superior knowledge on many subjects; a wiseacre; a
know-all; -- usually ironical. [Colloq. & pejorative]
