"I've studies th dictionary quit ea bit, which I doubt that you have, so i bet i know what most words mean better than you."
You might not have intended it to sound as an insult, but it did come out that way. This assumption that the person you were responding to probably hasn't read a dictionary and therefore knows less than you is another way to call him stupid.
"Arrogance = The beleif that you are right/superior despite evidence to the contrary."
arrogance = unpleasantly proud and behaving as if you are more important than, or know more than, other people.
This whole "my belief is superior to yours" is an example of arrogance. Claiming that you know more than they do and belittling the evidence they've offered to support their claims or refute yours is another.
