Pretentious (adj.) pronounced “pri-ˈten(t)-shəs”.
Means “exaggerating importance in a way that’s tendentious”.
E.g. “Pretentious are our more sporty compatriots”.
Synonyms include “grandiose”, “smug”, “pompous”, or “ostentatious”.
“Mr” a title used by adult males.
An average title for if all fancy ones fail.
A follow-up on Master, during pubescent years,
An address so boring, it’s numb to one’s ears.
Mr Pretentious, an outright mockery
of trolls, keyboard warriors and weaponised crockery.
Like “Xx_KneecapEater777_xX” or “Porkman12”,
nomered by pimply teens who do nought but stack shelves.
A mantle, undoubtedly made years ago,
by a man with a plan to go with the flow.
But this upstanding chap has no plans to defer,
He’ll stay who he is and to that I concur.

After posting my first poem about Mr Pretentious, I did some googling and found out there's a YouTube account with the exact same name as our unlikely lead character, except the YouTube account is just some guy helping people seem rich.
