Did you notice today's Word of the Day?
soi-disant \swah-dee-ZAHN\, adjective: Self-styled; so-called.
"The soi-disant experts are planning another self-congratulatory awards ceremony." Ooooh, I love vocabulary.
“Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ,” (Ephesians 4:15)

hey! time for me to chime in and sound smart. the word soi-disant comes from french. soi is a third person singular object pronoun (him(self)/her(self)/it(self)). and disant is the participial form of "to say."
so it's like someone is self-saying.
ahhh... etymology.
