Man: Dear, can we go to the movies on Wednesday?

Woman: yeah sure

Man: OK, I want to see the new action flick.

Woman: Yeah baby, I'm up for that

Man: OK, so I'll pick you up from work and we can go MatterCinemas(made up place)

Woman: uhm no honey I don't go there

Man: what are you talking about?

Woman: that's the cheap theatre

Man: OK, but the other one is 10 miles away in the oppisite direction..you want to go there

Woman: yeah

that is senseless pride. going against what is conveinent, practical, and senseful just because of pride..in this case not wanting to be seen in a cheaper theatre

I imagine it as someone know matter what has pride in who he is/ what he does. Good or bad.

Feeling pride in yourself when you've done nothing to earn it

It reminds me of someone with a certain type of ignorance where they are so unaware of how they stand with others that they can't be seen as being wrong to themselves. They have opinions, beliefs, and standings on things that can't be challenged because they refuse or just downright don't stop to think that they should consider other things.

It's a fairly opinionated thing to say. For instance, I would say that having pride in being popular in high school is somewhat senseless. I'm sure there are people who think otherwise. It's basically saying it's pride without a very good reason.

Being proud for no reason.
