Sanctimonious

Today's word is a derogatory term that means to make a show of being morally superior to other people. I found this word in my current novel for school; The Messenger by Marcus Zuzac on pg 13. SSANCTIMONIOUS is a word that i am happy to have learnt because i can now say to my brother "you are so SANCTIMONIOUS!" when really i am being SANCTIMONIOUS in saying such a word. I find that many people act SANCTIMONIOUS when they are being intimidated.
