"Smug" fits

I realized just now that I left incomplete yesterday's research into the word "smirk."

Webster's online defined "smirk" as, "to smile in an affected or smug manner." That discovery inspired me to create the word, "Mittsmug," as a direct insult to Completely Wrong Mitt, the Republican candidate for President of the United States.

But what does "smug" mean? I went back to Webster's just now and found that "smug" means: "trim or smart in dress; scrupulously neat, clean, or correct; highly self-satisfied."

My God, according to Webster's, "Mitt" could be a synonym for "smug." I feel so much better now.
