way too/extremely/ridiculously (1st use), completely (/totally/utterly) full of yourself (2nd use)
"Just admit you're worthless (/useless). Plus, extremely (/ridiculously, /way too) arrogant (/cocky) and completely (/totally/utterly) full of yourself."
You can mimic "До хрена" being used twice by using "and" twice, instead of "plus," but it depends on rhythm/tempo while the adjectives you pick depend on the character's background, as well as previous tone and vocab.

PS Same thing (as for the adjectives) goes for the adverbs.

David Knowles
: "haughty" is too formal and "up the wazoo" is too limited in use. It's very difficult to keep a consistent register!

Yes, you are right, David, there should be a slang for this, maybe you'd find.

Boris Shapiro
: Did you ever hear a native speaker describe anyone as 'deadly haughtly'? Or using 'up the a*s' to modify an adjective?

Yes, the Misha, my answer is wrong, but we should suggest "slang" here, I think asker would not aks if she wanted to make sure how to translate using absolutely, utterly etc.?
