back-up ego

When one's ego isn't sufficient, he/she employs 2-3 members of their party to satisfy the need.
An individual states he/she looks ok; then back-up ego is initiated by member 1 beginning with loud clapping. Member 2 begins to state how god damn good looking he/she is, and member 3 backs up member 2 with repeated "yeahs"...
