JK Rowling sure did Dumblebrag yesterday when she tweeted this:
“ Today's the 22nd anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts, but I'm going to be honest and say that it feels inappropriate to talk about fictional deaths today. Too many people are losing loved ones in the real world.”

Get the Dumblebrag mug.This is when people tell stories that are mostly true or at least plausible, and it may seem like innocent casual conversation at first, but then the real message is delivered through some sort of subtle self-promotion. Then you wonder whether ANY of the damn story was real or if it was all contrived so the speaker can brag about how wonderful they (think they) are in some way.
