A posture characterized by clenched fists, slightly bent arms at the sides, eyes forward, scowl on face, and chest thrust out sometimes accompanied by strutting. Often assumed by guys when they’re either trying to impress a female or assert alpha male status. Can be seen frequently at bars, weight rooms, swimming pools, co-ed sports events, and other such places where there is likely to be a gathering of both males and females. Typically employed by jocks, frat boys, and various other assholes.
Oh no, here comes Jim. I hate seeing him when there are females around because he gets all puffy-chested and turns into a giant dick.

You ever noticed how when it's just guys lifting in here Bill is alright, but if there's girls in here he goes puffy-chest and tries to lift twice as much weight.

See how Joe just struts around the pool and never actually gets in? He's got puffy-chest.

Apr 30 Word of the Day
A buzz word being used to refer to creators and influencers forming or encouraging unhealthy relationships with their fans. Usually used in the context of young audiences feeling they have a relationship with the influencer due to the huge amount of the influencer’s content they consume. The influencer in question, however, is unaware of the fan’s existence other than the general knowledge of having fans. Common examples include Dream and his stans. These relationships are exacerbated by the influencers confirming they have more than a creator-to-viewer relationship.

The word is circulating due to various YouTube essays about the phenomenon using the word, and therefore people who enjoy complaining about influencers repeating what they heard in the video in any comments section they can find.
I can’t believe that creator encourages parasocial relationships with his fans...

Man what a parasocial relationship :/
