That couple's new SUV with new pricey mountain bikes on back is some real dink flexing.

Trauma flexing

The act of bragging, recounting, one-upping, about a traumatic life event - physical (i.e. road rash, bad cramps, etc.), medical emergency (anything from a splinter to a widowmaker heart attack), mental health related (“The cheese slid off my cracker in 20__”), major life event (someone you loved croaked or croaked themselves), or emotionally inflicted (from a breakup to being gang raped by a whole Archdiocese of priests and nuns), even bemoaning one’s racial plight and/or difficulties associated with their sexuality/gender identification/you-name-it.

It is simply a ploy to garner sympathy and attention, perhaps intersectional leverage. Quite an effective strategic tool.
(Ned): “Did I tell you that I endured four weeks of chest pains before I had my heart attack, stroke, and Exploding Colon Syndrome?”
(Jacques): “Ya. Fifteen times since Juneteeenth. Maybe get checked for the ‘heimers, too. And quit with the trauma flexing. It pisses off everyone and makes me uncomfortable, you dong.”

Silent Flexing

When someone doesn’t brag, doesn’t show off, doesn’t even try, but still ends up making everyone else feel under-leveled just by existing. It’s the kind of natural aura that says, “I’m not trying to impress you… But you’re impressed anyway.”
“Bro walked into class with messy hair and no effort, and suddenly the whole room went quiet. That’s silent flexing.”
