Context of "何様のつもりか"


I came across someone referring to the phrase "何様のつもりか" in the middle of an
English-language discussion:

> if I were [person X], I would be shouting "何様のつもりか" (although I am not, and
> so I can't)

[Weblio](http://ejje.weblio.jp/content/%E4%BD%95%E6%A7%98%E3%81%AE%E3%81%A4%E3%82%82%E3%82%8A)
gives a translation of "Who the hell do ... think ... are?"

jisho.org says that [何様](http://jisho.org/search/%E4%BD%95%E6%A7%98) means a
person of importance, often used sarcastically, and
[つもり](http://jisho.org/search/%E3%81%A4%E3%82%82%E3%82%8A) has meanings of
intention, plan, conviction, or belief.

I guess the translation of phrase makes sense based on its component words
(the author is accusing someone of taking over person X's project), but is
there any other context I should know about this phrase?




That is a strong phrase. It is often used to start accusing or fighting.

"You are so rude." would be close.
