In a shameless bitch-to-brag, my tool of a boss told the whole break-room he got hit with the Alternative Minimum Tax this year because of his year-end bonus.

The informal right to brag and boast about an achievement you've made. You get this right after you've achieved it.
If you make it up, you might get away for a while, but you'll get bashed if they find out you never earnt this right.

Geek A: *Three headshots in Counter-strike in 30 seconds*
Geek B: Bastard, you shot your own team mates
Geek A: But it was still 3 headshots, that means I get bragging rights
Geek B: You're a load of shit, no bragging rights for stupid noobs.

Did you hear that Trump Brag: "I went to an ivy league school, I'm very highly educated. I know words I have the best words."

A cousin of the humble brag, the straight brag is shameless self promotion without regard to modesty or self humility. It is undeserved self praise, instantly recognized by friends and coworkers as a self coping mechanism designed to mask serious issues of self confidence.
April: "hey, how did it go over there today?"
Jenna: "I ruled, and they all loved me."
April: "God. You don't have to Straight Brag. Again."

A play on the bait and switch. When an old friend or acquaintance reconnects with you for the soul purpose of bragging because they've run out of friends to talk to. I.e. anyone who respects them enough to listen anymore.
“Hey! Long time no talk, I was just thinking about you and wondered what was new with you?”
“Oh hey! Well that’s nice, thanks for thinking of me. Funny that you asked, I actually just had a sex change and adopted a baby boy”
“Cool. So I just got a huge raise and a bonus and went to central America! Was thinking of switching jobs and moving away cause I’m quite bored here. What do you think?”
^Classic bait and brag^
