Smerdyakov is a character from Brothers Karamazov who is odious in a particular and recognizable way. Is there a word that succinctly captures his character?
He acts over-familiar with people. He assumes depth and hidden meaning in conversations where there is none. Worse, he codes his own hidden meaning in his speech even when others are not looking for them.
For example, imagine a too-informed fan meeting a celebrity by chance. In conversation the fan speaks to the celebrity as a peer and works in obscure, apocryphal references expecting the celebrity to pick up on them and respond in the same candor.
"The fan is [behaving like Smerdyakov]."
