Bragavond

Any person who is given to large bouts of hyperbole and/or exaggeration. Claims regarding facets of his or her life will sometimes seem plausible until combined with the multitude of other experiences and/or possessions he or she claims to have had.

Jill: "Apparently he claims to be a good friend of Matt Shadows of Avenged Sevenfold."
Jack: "Even though he's 13 years Shadows' senior and has absolutely nothing in common with him?"
Jill: "Yup."
Jack: "What a total bragavond."

Shame Brag

For when you have done something so shameful but can't stop telling people about it that it almost seems like you're bragging.

"Ok this may be a bit of a shame brag but last night I got so drunk I lost my wallet, phone, ipod, friends, self-respect and woke up in a bin with no shoes on."

OR

"I felt so creepy when I made out with that teenager last night."
"No need to shame brag about that to everyone."

Humble Brag

When you, usually consciously, try to get away with bragging about yourself by couching it in a phony show of humility.

"Your inflatable inner-tube is way cooler than my 80-foot yacht. You get to be so much closer to the water and to nature. I envy you, I really do"

"Thanks, that means a lot. Another advantage of having an innertube is that I don't have to fucking humble brag all the time about having a yacht."

Braghumble

A humblebrag but instead of the intent being to brag, the intent is to increase the humility or humbleness of the story.
This term was coined by Brady Haran who also coined the term Freebooting on his podcast, Hello Internet.

Person #1: I was hanging out with the greatest man in the world of Computer science, and when I went to the bathroom I found a huge streak of toothpaste on my face!
Person #2: Not sure if that was a humblebrag or a braghumble

backdoor bragging

Backdoor bragging is when you sneak something wonderful about yourself in everyday conversation.

30 Rock Episode Dialogue:

Kenneth: The personal essay is way harder than I thought, cause it's not in my nature to brag on myself.
Jenna: Not even a back door brag?
Kenneth: What's a back door brag?
Jenna: Backdoor bragging is sneaking something wonderful about yourself in everyday conversation. Like when I tell people it's hard for me to watch American Idol cause I have perfect pitch. You try it.
Kenneth: Oh, it's hard for me to watch American Idol because there's a water bug on my channel changer.
This comes back later in a talk with Liz:
Jenna: People always underestimate my instincts because of my good looks.
Liz: This is no time for back door bragging!
