I love the word smug. It is easy to be smug when you live the bourgeois life, this life of privilege and really good seats. Being smug is not the same as being judgmental. I am judgmental, too, but that has nothing to do with being bourgeois.
Judgmental is “I am better than you.”
Smug is “Don’t you wish you were me?”
“I think Eskimos are smug.” John Turturro, Anger Management (2003)

I'm humble, but my cat is smug. He lives more of a bourgeois life than I do.
Ah, Anger Management -- another of my favorite movies. (Note that 2 of the 3 favorite movies I have publicly acknowledged on the blogosphere star Adam Sandler -- hm...)
