smelling yourself

Checking yourself out. ( looking in the mirror to much ) Thinking that you have swag or game. Flirting with a lot of showing off involved. Being vain or egotistical.

Every time you get around a female you start smelling yourself like you got mad swag. It's like you instantly turn into Soulja Boi or something.

Selling Yourself Short

Not reaching one's full potential. The origin of the term is "short selling" a stock (i.e., betting against a company). The "short seller" essentially "borrows" stock from a company and agrees to pay back the company whatever the stock is worth at some point in the future. The purchaser sells the stock immediately, anticipating that the price will fall over the next few months. If the stock price actually falls, the purchaser will pay back the company less money than what the purchaser sold the stock for.
