Self-important, pompous (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

uppity

(Other definitions for uppity that I've seen before include "Needing to be slapped down?" , "Difficult to control" , "'Self-important, overweening (6)'" , "Pert; haughty" , "Informally presumptuous or self-important" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
