It means "Holier Than Thou". Someone who is making out they are better than you - usually with religious overtones

Sanctimonious is quite simply when someone does or says something that suggests they think they are a cut above the ret - better than you. It is different to sarcasm as often sanctimonious people have little or no humor, just an arrogent belief they are right.

Are you familiar with the term, "holier than thou?" In other words, its a way of saying that something is Holy, but in a condescending way.
