Él creía que su suéter ajustado estaba muy a la moda, pero el resoplido engreído de la estirada recepcionista al verlo vino como un golpe rápido a su orgullo.

He thought that his snug sweater was very spiffy, but the smug sniff of the stiff receptionist upon seeing him came as a swift slug to his pride.

Sniff, snug, smug.

"No soporto a esa gente egoísta (smug) que lleva trajes de moda tan perfectos y ajustados (snug) que ni quiere saludarme como si fuera de otra planeta. ¡No! Ni vale olfatear (sniff), que sé quiénes son de mi guara."

"I can't stand those high-brows who are so smug with their perfectly fitted suits, those who won't even greet me, as if I were from another world. No! It's not worth checking out because I know who my people are."

I just got an invitation from people who I don't particulary like. They want my property and I won't sell.
