Ego Pump

(n.)
1. Someone who gives a person praise so much that the person they're praising becomes a narcissist (whether he/she/they/etc. is purposefully doing it or not).
2. One of the causes for narcissism in children

Ex:
Child: I'm gonna sing a song!
Parents: Go ahead!
Child: *Ear-piercing demonic screeches*
Parents: \o/ Wow! So good! Yay! \o/
Guest (at Parents' house): I think it's time I should leave.

Karen thinks she is so great because her parents were ego pumps.
