When someone attempts to be negative about an aspect of their life that is in reality, undeniably awesome. A way of verbally showing off without being super obvious or bragging outright.
She was complain-bragging that the hubcaps on her free car don't match her outfit.
He said "I hate that I have to wear a suit and tie to my six figure income job" - what a complain-bragger!

Indirectly bragging about something via a complaint. The complaint usually is not genuine and is not where they want your attention drawn. The complaint is only used as a means to be able to talk about the thing in which they are bragging about, but without flat out bragging. Brag complainers don't know they have the affliction but are in desperate need of attention and this is one of the ways in which they know how to get it. Very popular on Facebook.
Example: "Ugh, I cannot believe I had to pay over $500 for service on my MERCEDES - BENZ."
A non brag complainer would have left out the make of the vehicle.
