Pronounced (Ay-o-wee), AoY-y stands for 'Achievements of Yester-year'. Individuals who excel in secret often hear others boasting about their past achievements, coming across as conceited. However, overachievers who quietly excel academically or in recent accomplishments avoid such behavior and prefer not to share all they are up to so they remain humble and may use "humblebrag" instead every now and then by saying something similar to;
"Yeah, I did that but that was then. I'm 'now' doing bigger and even better things. But enough about me..."
This is an example of "Humblebrag"
(Yet when using AoY-y, they are secretly describing those who incessantly discuss their past achievements with excessive pride. By using this term, they are able to convey their dislike for boasting to new acquaintances.
Ultimately, they are giving people around them one big headache when someone calls them Dr. or whatever the title may be. A good example would be, "Adrienne is called Dr. A. since she has a PhD. Yet one might say sarcastically, "Congratulations on your AoY-y!" Meaning, an Achievement of Yester-Year hence, AoY-y. That's not to try and take away from what they achieved, but more so that the overachiever running circles around them really wants to ask them, ("What have you done lately?" Or, "have you done anything new?" Or, "What are you accomplishing today?")
"Yeah, I did that but that was then. I'm 'now' doing bigger and even better things. But enough about me..."

"She always goes on and on about her AoY-y (Achievements of yester-year)."
"Yeah, I did that but that was then. I'm 'now' doing bigger and even better things so I'm not stuck on my AoY-y. But enough about me..."
This is an example of "Humblebrag" which is the opposite of AoY-y.
"Adrienne is called Dr. A. since she has a PhD. Yet one might say sarcastically, "Congratulations on your AoY-y!" Meaning, an Achievement of Yester-Year hence, AoY-y if she brags more than usual.
