9 mins confidence:   | know-it-all erasou ni
Explanation:
(Sorry, my Japanese input is shot at the moment)
As far as i know, there's no direct translation for the term 'know-it-all' as something you'd call somebody.
Instead of calling somebody a know-it-all, you could say 'erasou ni', 'erasou ni (naninani wo yatteru)' or 'erai ne'. 'erai' has the 'superior' kind of feeling about it, and it would be sarcastic in this usage, obviously.
Other than that...Ｉcan't really think of anything.
