Indirectly bragging about something via a complaint. The complaint usually is not genuine and is not where they want your attention drawn. The complaint is only used as a means to be able to talk about the thing in which they are bragging about, but without flat out bragging. Brag complainers don't know they have the affliction but are in desperate need of attention and this is one of the ways in which they know how to get it. Very popular on Facebook.
Example: "Ugh, I cannot believe I had to pay over $500 for service on my MERCEDES - BENZ."
A non brag complainer would have left out the make of the vehicle.

When someone posts a Yelp review that is mostly to brag to their friends that they did something fancy, exclusive or expensive, but thinly weiled as a review.
I tried to find a japanese restaurant and decided it was not worth it because of too many Yelp Brags in the reviews:
We had just about every fish: sea bream, scallop from Japan (the best scallop I ever had), aji, blue fin toro, hamachi, maguro, and many other types that other restaurants don't serve. I can't remember the names of the fish. We ate (just the 2 of us) $150 worth of sashimi.

When you try and say something complementary about about someone and actually end up just telling them how amazing you are.
Everyone: Wow, Tony is such a good chiropractor
George: I know right, when I hurt myself from being super awesome at Kung Fu and accidentally killing my sensai because I don't know my own skills, he was able to push all my ribs back inside my body. Everyone was so jealous that I could come back from an injury like that and I am now the new sensai.
Everyone Else: *humble brag*
