Depends on if it happens before you start up your well, or because you crashed your well.

OT: can someone explain to me the hoity toity thing? I see it everywhere and refuse to google it.
(I guess James Charles isn’t really the creator of the phrase.)

I don’t hear it used that often, but I interpret it as a silly, sarcastic way to say something like “pretentious”.

hoity-toity has the meaning, in words of Wiktionary: “pompous, self-important and snobbish.”.
It’s a low-register adjective and apparently derives from an old verb hoit, which had a sense “to behave thoughtlessly”.

At some point, it might have been confused with the similar-sounding hoi polloi, a borrowing from Greek with the meaning “the common people; the masses”. This is also an informal term and might be considered humorous or even insulting depending on the context, like who the speaker is.
The result of this possible confusion is that hoi polloi developed a secondary, completely opposite sense of “the elite” which is considered incorrect.

If you’d asked me what hoi polloi meant, I’d have had the incorrect meaning 
And indeed possibily partly due to the associated with hoity toity
hoi … like boy
po … just p like the p in pea
lloi … like lawyers without ers
