What is a person called that pretends everything their idea?

There isn't a single perfect word for someone who pretends everything is their idea. However, here are some options depending on the context and intention:

General terms:

* Plagiarist: This is the most accurate if the person is directly copying others' work and claiming it as their own.

* Imposter: This term implies someone falsely presenting themselves as something they are not, including taking credit for others' work.

* Fraud: This term is more serious and implies a deliberate attempt to deceive others for personal gain.

* Self-promoter: This term is less accusatory but suggests someone is overly focused on promoting their own ideas, even at the expense of others.

* Egotist: This term suggests someone with an inflated sense of self-importance who believes their ideas are always the best.

More specific terms:

* Idea thief: This term is informal but accurately describes someone who steals ideas from others.

* Braggart: This term suggests someone who boasts about their ideas, even if they are not original.

* Phony: This term is a bit harsh but suggests someone who is insincere and not genuine.

The best term to use will depend on the specific situation and the severity of the behavior.
