my experience with being called a 'know-it-all' is entirely from calling shit talking liars on their shitty little lies they want to spread.
examples include 'obama was a muslim', 'trump's a great businessman', 'conservatives are for small government and freedom of speech' etc.
present them with evidence that not only contradicts their thesis but refutes it completely and suddenly 'you're such a know it all!'
lolol
Such a strange insult, know it all. Right up there with "do-gooder". Am I? Okay.

Add 'woke' to that list tbh. I have no idea how that word went from meaning a good thing to meaning a bad thing. If you watch the first 'Shazam!' movie, the word is used in a positive light when a character tells someone to get woke. Now at the time of the second Shazam! movie the word means something different with a negative connotation.
Conclusion: we should have prevented the second Shazam! movie.
Gosh I wonder what happened during that time?
