Noun. The bravado and one-upsmanship expressed between two socially inept people when they argue over who knows more about things that will impress absolutely no one.
Auchismo 1: "Well, you see, in issue 23 of The Adventures of Superdick his cape was actually grey and had a Nazi sort of design-"

Auchismo 2: "ACTUALLY, The Adventures of Superdick was a limited series that only ran for a few months in 1994; the arc you're thinking of is Superdick, Dickstallnacht, which ran for 35 issues in 1996 after The Adventures of Superdick changed writers and flopped miserably after the massive change in tone. But, you know, whatever. I only know that because I have every issue of that arc in my house in mint condition with the dust sleeves on and am working on a Führer-dick cosplay at the moment."
