One Upper

That person who has to be better at everything. Even when they shouldn't want to.

"I remember once as a child I accidentally killed a squirrel."
"Aww that's nothin' bro. I used to kill animals all the time."
"Really?! What the hell is wrong with you freak?
"Oh you think you're disgusted in me? You should see how disgusted I am at me!"

one-upper

A one-upper is someone who always has to be bigger and better than everyone else. If you say you are drunk, they exclaim with how much more they have drank than you.

Although Matt may seem mediocre, he is actually a one-upper; He must always top your story with one of his own.

Pathological One-upper

One-upping to such a degree, involving, caused by, or of the nature of a mental disease, where an upper is incapable of ever stopping and must refute any up of a fellow upper, even if the up makes no logical sense at all.

Regular One-upper: Dude, i bought a Jaguar last week. It's sick.
Pathological One-upper: Nice. I got an Aston a few days ago...
Regular One-upper: My Dad's getting a Bugatti Veyron today!
Pathological One-upper: That's nothing. For that much money you won't even get an apartment in my building. I have six.

one upper

A person who always has a better story. If you killed six goats, he or she killed 23. Most of the time they will get angry because you told a story about ONLY killing 6 goats.

Person 1: Wow, this is a nice view. How much land do you own?

Person 2: Umm, I think about 69 acres.

Person 3(One upper): YOU own 69 acres!?!?!?! MY UNCLE OWNS 178!!
