n. a complaint which is disguised as an attempt to flaunt one's wealth, success, education, connections or social prestige
The setting: An expensive lunch place in Manhattan.
Blonde woman in a sable coat draped on her shoulders fiddling with a 15 carat emerald ring: "My ex-husband took my kids for Christmas by NetJet to Lyford Cay, while I have to sit around by myself in my apartment staring at the snow in Central Park."
The woman's friend, a dapper, older gay man, totally faking empathy: "I feel so badly for you, sweetie" (and actually thinking, WTF, yet another glamplaint coming out of her tacky mouth).
