Pretentious would be a good word to use. It doesn't sound like swear word, unlike some of the other suggestions here, and adjectives are less harsh than nouns. I guess it depends what you mean by "stronger" - "insulting"? "more definitive"?
A few people have already mentioned pretentious above, but not used on its own, which is the answer I wanted to give.
- condescending
- patronizing
- lordly
- lofty
- snooty
- disdainful
- toffee-nosed
