The act of bragging, recounting, one-upping, about a traumatic life event - physical (i.e. road rash, bad cramps, etc.), medical emergency (anything from a splinter to a widowmaker heart attack), mental health related (“The cheese slid off my cracker in 20__”), major life event (someone you loved croaked or croaked themselves), or emotionally inflicted (from a breakup to being gang raped by a whole Archdiocese of priests and nuns), even bemoaning one’s racial plight and/or difficulties associated with their sexuality/gender identification/you-name-it.
It is simply a ploy to garner sympathy and attention, perhaps intersectional leverage. Quite an effective strategic tool.

(Ned): “Did I tell you that I endured four weeks of chest pains before I had my heart attack, stroke, and Exploding Colon Syndrome?”
(Jacques): “Ya. Fifteen times since Juneteeenth. Maybe get checked for the ‘heimers, too. And quit with the trauma flexing. It pisses off everyone and makes me uncomfortable, you dong.”

Get the Traumateased mug.Traumy salami is really whether you believe it or not truly the ultimate blessing. An experience that hits you and at the peak of your disbelief a massive wave of feeling utter disbelief wash over you and you race to figure out what exactly just happened to you, what events lead you to this place of absolute defeat. One has to ask themselves how in the midst of such confusion the traumy salami engulfed and consumed your existence while every unspoken need and desire have been fulfilled. Leaving you with a sense of satisfaction and at peace. Leaving you exactly where you should be. You will walk away with an everlasting feeling of knowing you have been totally wrecked and dominated by a true savage. An unbelievable force of nature. Respect the traumy salami, say the name so that it may echo across the land and all may know whats coming.
