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

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.

When a nerd acts like something is common knowledge, but in actuality is not known to the majority of people.
It is a desperate desire to make clear that the nerd was fully aware of something, that you were not, and that he or she believes that everyone else was also aware of it.
Common examples of nerd brags include:
"What, you didn't know that?"
"Really? Oh weird, I know how to do that."

When someone is talking about how difficult a situation/ task was, but because it was them they managed to do it well.
For had it not been them it wouldn't have been able to be done.

Martyr Bragging dick: "The workload Mr Boss gave me was completely unreasonable. There was far too much for someone to do in that time. I mean, if he hadn't given it to me and like Margaret instead, it never would have been completed on time"
Self respecting normal human being: "You need to shut up you martyr bragging fuckface, you're not special"
