	Clive  +  422017 Fri, 21 Sep 07 02:12 PM Hi, Are they correct? As you know, the idiom 'stuck up' means 'conceited'. However, I don't hear or see  it used much in N. America. She's getting stuck up. OK She's getting far too stuck up for her beauty. If you mean that her beauty is the reason that she is stuck up, say 'about her beauty' instead of 'for'. She is stuck up.

	Yankee  +  422018 Fri, 21 Sep 07 02:14 PM Hi LiJ Your third sentence is the most natural. Your first sentence is OK, but it seems somewhat incomplete without any context telling us the reason why she is just now becoming stuck-up. Your second sentence sounds odd to me.  Using the word 'for', I might say something like this: She's getting far too stuck up for her own good. EDIT: Oops, I see there have been two other posts in the meantime.
