A term that originated from the 2018 game Among Us, in which it would describe a player reporting a dead body that they themselves had killed; its use has since been expanded to describe any action by a person that unnecessarily draws attention to something negative about themselves. It is similar to a Freudian slip, but it does not require the person to make an accidental error; their words or actions are typically deliberate, and the person may already be perfectly aware of the negative connotations of their conduct.
Original Use
Player 1: I found this body in the communications room.
Player 2: I checked the vitals monitor a few seconds ago and no one was dead, this kill must have just happened.
Player 3: Is this a self-report?
Current Use
Person A: I like when people post about funny things they do to get out of doing work at their jobs, it really makes everyone seem a bit more human.
Person B: Fair, although the self-report can often get a person fired if they post using their actual name, so I wouldn't recommend joining them anytime soon, okay?

Get the False reportsmug. See!? Did I not say that!? Except with me instead of the state doing it it's just morons... Literally just morons.
Hym "Did I not say the Minority Report Pre-Crime was coming? Because I'm pretty sure I said that and once again... I AM CORRECT! Except now it's the bureaucratic overreach AND the weaponized schizophrenia! It's that AND my thing now. It's both. Because my thing is still happening. My brainz still feels like it's about to explode. Whatever you expect me to do here is unnecessary and what I COMMANDED YOU TO DO... Was and is super necessary. And now it's minority report. Are you happy now? Is this the path to the Garden of Eden to you? The creator of AI drowns in his own skull and dissidents are imprisoned in their own lives for saying things idiots don't like. I could be buried in porn stars right now with a fluid-free brainz. I still want them to murder as many kids as possible if you leave me for dead and you can't say that you can't do it because everyone will then try to copy me because only I am compelling enough to make it work. I'm a literal human bomb Jordan."

Get the southport reportermug. A term from Among Us,a popular game made in 2018,which means for an Imposter to kill a Crewmate and report the body right after to pretend they found a body.However,this term has reached outside of Among Us,in the meaning of someone accusing a person of doing/being something,despite the fact that the person accusing the other person also doing/being whatever they are accusing the other person.
In Among Us:
Cyan:I found a body in Navigation
Red:Body was reported too fast after the round started.This is probably a self report.
