Micah: Yeah, everyone who can said it was the best show they had ever seen. All thanks to my leading role, of course.

Micah: Tawny, no need to get touchy just because you’re in the ensemble. I’m not arrogant. I’m confident.

Tawny: Fine. I’d love to see you try to do this all by yourself, since you can do everything. 

Here, Tawny calls Micah arrogant because he is attributing the show’s merit to him and only him.

Arrogant is an adjective for describing people who are too proud and look down on others, like supermodels who think their good looks give them a right to do whatever they want.

Arrogant derives from Latin arrogare «to claim,» and the idea is that someone is claiming credit or advantages that they are not entitled to. It’s close in meaning to haughty and supercilious, but both of those have connotations of coolness and perceived superiority that arrogant does not. An aristocrat could be called all three, but a customs official or traffic cop is more likely to be called arrogant than the other terms.

ar·ro·gant

 (ăr′ə-gənt)

adj.

1. Having or displaying a sense of overbearing self-worth or self-importance.

2. Marked by or arising from a feeling or assumption of one’s superiority toward others: an arrogant contempt for the weak.


[Middle English arrogaunt, from Old French, from Latin arrogāns, arrogant-, present participle of arrogāre, to arrogate; see arrogate.]


ar′ro·gant·ly adv.

Synonyms: arrogant, haughty, disdainful, supercilious
These adjectives mean characterized by an inflated ego and disdain for what one considers inferior. One who is arrogant is overbearingly proud and demands excessive power or consideration: an arrogant and pompous professor, unpopular with students and colleagues alike. Haughty suggests superiority, as by reason of high status: «Her laugh was satirical, and so was the habitual expression of her arched and haughty lip» (Charlotte Brontë).
Disdainful emphasizes scorn or contempt: «Nor [let] grandeur hear with a disdainful smile, / The short and simple annals of the poor» (Thomas Gray).
Supercilious implies haughty disdain and aloofness: «Failure would confirm the critics who called him supercilious for following his own methods and not theirs» (Neal Bascomb).
