"Well, ___ you special?"

ARENT

Think of the sarcastic reply when someone acts like they’re the only one who matters.

This clue mimics a sarcastic or playful phrase often used in movies or TV when someone acts entitled or demands special treatment. The blank fits "arent" because the full line—"Well, aren’t you special?"—is a common retort implying the person isn’t actually that impressive. The answer plays on the missing contraction, making it a straightforward fill-in-the-blank with a hint of attitude.
