Phrase stuck-up
Text In this podcast, the phrase "stuck-up" means arrogant, thinking that one is better than everyone else: "Ever since Randall won that award, he has been so stuck-up." A "stick-up" is a hold-up, or an attempt to rob someone by pointing a gun at him or her: "The police arrived after reports of a stick-up, but they were too late to catch the thief." Finally, the phrase "to be stuck with (something or someone)" means to have to keep something or be with someone whom one does not want or like: "If you get a tattoo, make sure it's something you love, because you'll be stuck with it for the rest of your life." Or, "We are the only two people who aren't working on other projects so we're stuck with each other on this tasks."
