Playing up

Trying to make somebody feel 9 feet tall and invincible, or at least thinking you've made them feel that way.

The guy knew that the teacher's spy/teacher's pet was trying to play up to him even though the teacher's pet was not his pet or darling, so really it wasnt a good job of playing up, but he/she still thought that he/she was playing up to him and that he was going for it or falling for it for some reason. He also knew the teacher's pet well, so he didnt have to measure anything, since people dont change. Just like the walls on a building can warp and the measurements of the wall can change some, but the building is the same overall building it always was since it was built, even if their are additions, renovations, or parts missing, the overall building is the same building until it collapses or gets demolished, people also can seem different, seem to change form, but really they're the same overall people they were as kids. If they were a poser as a kid, they're still posing as something different all the time, appearing to change. People who think that everything needs to be measured to know anything about it, or to know it well are missing the point.

Self played

Played by yourself.

He/she tried to slowly drive so many people crazy/play so many people, he/she wound up having something wrong with him/her. He/she was self played.

Played out

when something is obviously fake or fraudulent. As if it was written as a play for a stage, and then its 'played out'. It's 'acted out'.

Man1: "Man hollywood pedophiles been doing this shit for years, and nobody's talking about it"
Man2: "Yeah man it's played out"
Man1: "What do you mean, cuzz?"
Man2: "I mean they're all in on it, it's a performance, nobody is going to stop it because the people who can stop it are in on it."
