-Guy 1 "I built a robotic roach the other day, look,"
-Adrian "So what, my class won a battle bots tourny because of my ideas on how to build it."
-Guy 1 "What is heat lightning again?"
-Adrian "Heat lightning is made when ice particles in the clouds rub together, then the friction it makes creates a lightning bolt"
-Teacher "It's a normal lightning bolt, but instead its red, and makes no sound...Adrian, dont try to be a one upper."

A person that "knows" about everything. This person has done everything you wish you had. If you saw it on television last night, he did it for a family vacation 2 years ago.
JON: I had the best BBQ Chicken last night.
ONE UPPER: Ya, I have the best bbq sauce recipe ever. I won an award for it at the fair a couple of years ago.

Someone who needs to be better than you because of there insecurities. No matter what you say about anything they will top it.
Say Alec the great tells a story about saving one little panda cub from a three alarm house fire. Dominguez the "one upper" will then tell a story about how he saved Panda's from dying from extinction.

Someone who has apparently had everyone elses experiences happen to them, but much better or much worse. Often this is because they need to be better than others or feel the need to be 'one-up' from everybody else.
Sophie: I got totally drunk and ended up falling asleep on a bench!
Jess: Yeah that happened to me but I woke up in a lion's cage and proper fought it off with my judo style skills. All with a hangover too!
Sophie: You are such a one-upper!

Of or relating to a person always trying to outdo or claim that their experience was better without regard to whether it actually was better.
Torrey said that he had an excellent vacation in South Beach. Andrea then chimes in and says she had a better vacation in Iowa. This illustrates a one up and a one upper.

-Working 18 different jobs including but not limited to a doctor, a mechanic, a veternarian, and astronaut before the age of 18 (With no proof)
