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.

When someone shows off there wealth, clothes, and lifestyle paid for by their parents — pretending it’s their own success. Wearing the latest designer clothes, carrying designer handbags, driving flashy cars, wearing luxury watches and jewelry, going on exotic holidays like Dubai, flying on private jets — usually hanging around the same crowd. This crowd is always comparing who’s got better things and looking down on people who have less, even if those people are self-sufficient and work hard for it.

Look at that rich kid, spoiled brat posting on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok next to their Lambo Urus and mansion — acting like they bought them themselves. What a classic Folks Flex.
