/Sounds like "pah" (as in "park") + "reh" (as in "red") + "HEH" (as in "help") + "roh" (as in "row")/

Meaning

Someone who acts like they are on the same level or even above someone they have no business treating as an equal. It carries a tone of insolence: not knowing your place, overstepping rank or experience without any right to do so.

Examples

Do not be so presumptuous. Show some respect.
