This is an informal way of calling someone `snooty’ or `snobbish’. A person who is `stuck-up’ thinks he is more important than others, and as a result, is often very unfriendly towards them.
Examples: What’s got into Hamsa? Why is she so stuck-up? *When I met the star, I was pleasantly surprised. He wasn’t at all stuck-up.
