Actually I should've said I want to know how to say "arrogant" in brit slang.

errr...
flash
cocky
snotty
that's about it. There's other phrases, but not easy to drop in accidentally, or are too generic to convey the specific meaning of arrogance:
prat used to be a noun used for someone both arrogant and stupid, but I think it's now become as a general insult (and not much used).
"Berk" is the same as prat (Berk is rhyming slang for 'Berkshire hunt'... you can work it out), as is [censored].
There's the expression "loves the sound of his own voice" and "He says what he likes, and likes what he bloody well says"
hmmm, I'm still pondering if there's more though...
