A : 4) Pedantic

 

pedantic 지나치게 규칙을 찾는, 세세한것에 얽매이는, 현자처럼 교만한

pedantic = scrupulous = precise = exact = over-exacting = overscrupulous = over-fastidious = overmeticulous = too fussy = too particular = too demanding 너무 세세한, 너무 따지는, 너무 까탈스러운

be pedantic 아는 체하다, 학자인척 굴다

Don't be so pedantic 시시콜콜 따지지 좀 마라
