2. Displaying a propensity for grandiose self-perception, which manifests in a somewhat humorous or endearing overconfidence, often witnessed as a harmless egomania.

3. (Informal) Bearing resemblance to Papyrus in terms of distinctive behavioral traits or idiosyncrasies, notably encompassing a blend of arrogance and well-meaning theatricality.

Origin: Rooted deeply within the Undertale fandom, though the exact point of inception remains speculative. It is widely perceived to have been coined organically within the community, gradually finding its way into broader usage due to the character's popularity.
