How it's used

This idiom carries a strong sense of moral disapproval and is used to describe someone who acts as if they are the only person who matters. It is typically reserved for situations where someone displays blatant disregard for the feelings or authority of others. Unlike simple arrogance, it implies a complete lack of social awareness or humility.

Examples

He speaks in such an arrogant way that it is hard to get along with him.

Common mistake

Learners often mistake this for a literal description of someone being alone or in an empty place. It is strictly a character judgment, not a physical observation.
