Get the Flex tape mug.Act of flexing (/flex) or low key boasting over the fact you played classic wow, also known as vannila wow, an original world of warcraft.
Trying to assume superiority over your peers in a current non-classic expansion, because you assume nobody else ever could have possibly played classic like you did.
Preferably over raid and group chats and voicechats with as many people as possible involved.
It also has a memeberberry effect, when people pile on, to prove they "know the lingo" and "were there too" which eventually turns into an endless circlejerk which then occupies discussion, till broken up.
It is not to be confused with general private reminiscing over outdated WoW content.
