Humble Brag

What every girl on social media does when they want attention.

Humble Brag Example: When girls post half naked selfies on Instagram with a lame caption about “body positivity” and “how far they’ve come”, etc., pretending like the whole point of the pic isn’t to simply get max likes and compliments

T-Brag

To use Twitter as a platform for bragging. Coined as an analogue to "Facebrag," this word telegraphs "teabag" by design.

It is an open question whether the Facebrag or the T-Brag is more pernicious.

Passive Bragging

When an individual pretends not to be arrogant and pretentious by disagreeing with compliments they are given but following it up with a form of brag. Pulling this off ensures the person gets an ego boost while not appearing to be cocky.

James pulled a classic passive bragging by pretending his short code wasn't a big deal, but followed it up by stating that it's better than most others around.
