Complaining about yourself/your life or a complimenting someone else/theirs, as a thin veil for bragging.
X: I am totally jealous of ugly girls, it is really annoying having to decide which guy to let buy you a drink at the bar.
X: Your staycation must have been awesome! Going straight from the beach in south of France to skiing in the Swiss Alps took so much out of me.
You: X, stop backwards bragging!!!

A form self promotion where the promoter thinks he is, almost subliminally, bragging about himself in the context of a humble statement or complaint. Everyone listening thinks he a jackass.

The act of knowingly and consistently using your Facebook wall to list all your supposed accomplishments and embellish your fabulosity quotient.
Can also apply to all mediums of modern internet communication. (Examples: space-brag (MySpace), tweet-brag (Twitter), etc.

Sadly, I had to delete Marsha from my list of friends on Facebook.
Why? I heard she's living "la vida loca".
Are you kidding me? She's a deli girl at Meier's. Her constant face-brag is unbelievably annoying!

When one pretends to complain about something, when in fact, he is actually trying to brag about it.
Jason, don't whine about how you can't find any skinny jeans to fit you because your penis is too large. It's an obvious sneak brag.

When a Pastor sneaks something they should or shouldn't be bragging about into a sermon, photo caption, or conversation. Most commonly used as #pastorbrag.
Pastor: Yeah we're going on a four week vacation to Hawaii. Our friends hooked us up with a legit place to stay too, it's where Jimmy Fallon stays when he's on vacation, and where George Clooney spent his second honeymoon.
Friend of Pastor: Whoa dude, that's kinda a Pastor Brag. You should be more humble about your blessings brother.

When someone tries to sneak in how awesome they are into any kind of conversation hoping you’ll notice how cool they are without them having to tell you
“I woke up a bit sore from an 11 mile hike I did” “WE GET IT YOU HIKE A LOT ENOUGH WITH THE HUMBLE BRAG”
