In grammar, a phrase is a group of words functioning as a single unit in the syntax of a sentence.

For example, the house at the end of the street is a phrase. It acts like a noun. It can further be broken down into two shorter phrases functioning as adjectives: at the end and of the street, a shorter prepositional phrase within the longer prepositional phrase. At the end of the street could be replaced by an adjective such as nearby: the nearby house or even the house nearby. The end of the street could also be replaced by another noun, such as the crossroads to produce the house at the crossroads.

Most phrases have a central word defining the type of phrase. This word is called the head of the phrase. Some phrases, however, can be headless. For example, the rich is a noun phrase composed of a determiner and an adjective without a noun.

I am looking for a phrase that describes a family that praises everything done by them and ignores all others?
Q. I can't remember the phrase that describes a family that will not recognise anything good that other people do and won't acknowledge anything they do is wrong. It is like a denial thing or a kind of narcissism.

A. The family is full of pretentious arrogant and self-righteous pomposity. Just made it up but covers everything. Your could change the last word to pretence, arrogance, self-righteousness dependent upon the trait you most wish to emphasise. In this case the word pomposity would become pompous.
