If you spend time on the internet, which everyone does these days, you’d know that a big part of communication here is made up of memes. “Weird flex but Ok” is no exception.
According to Merriam-Webster dictionary, the first known use of “weird flex but ok” occurred in December 2017, when a college student named Finn Feighery replied to a post by the human rights activist Malala Yousafzai with a sarcastic response to a tweet listing the highlights of the year previous.
The phrase got picked up on social media, and today it has well secured its place in the internet’s lingo. So this time, we’re taking a look at “Weird flex but Ok” put into practice as seen in the cases of people bragging about questionable and unusual things. There’s even a corner of Reddit titled “Weird flex but Ok” dedicated to sharing such instances, so pull your seat closer!

We all have come across someone who can’t seem to stop trying to impress others. Braggers seem to always try to make themselves look good by putting a positive spin on everything they believe can show them favorably. There are many reasons why people do this, from making themselves feel better to doing things to impress others, or simply enjoying talking about oneself.
But in reality, the habit of bragging or boasting can be rather problematic. Not only do braggers paint an inaccurate or even distorted picture of their lives, they monopolize conversations. No wonder, for their audience, this is often super annoying as their self-worth seems to be all over the place.

Odd Boast But Alas
New York-based novelist Henya Drescher claims that braggers wear masks. “People who brag a lot sacrifice their true identity — or at least a part of it — on the altar of appearances,” she explains in a piece on Medium. “They boast their qualities, achievements, and successes to attain the admiration and respect of those around them. And if necessary, they also resort to exaggerations and lies.”

You may ask why, despite its negative connotations, so many people still brag like there was no yesterday. Well, interestingly, bragging may work because the audience does not have enough information (yet) to evaluate the braggart objectively, Joachim I. Krueger, a Professor of Psychology at Brown University suggests.
“Braggarts may try to anticipate—and manage—the audience’s reaction to their exuberant self-presentation, and here desire encroaches on reality,” the professor argues.

Moreover, it’s suggested that braggarts have empathy gaps they are unaware of. Krueger explains: “They project the positive feelings stirred up within themselves by their own bragging onto others without realizing that these others do not care as much about them as they themselves do.” This way, their pay is a reputational cost since they don’t have perspective talking.

I Know That This Is Edgy As Hell But I Thought That This Was A Good Place To Put This
Meanwhile, flexing has an even more annoying connotation. This internet slang refers to showing off or exaggerating accomplishments and conveys arrogance or insecurity. Having sprung up in the 2010s through hip-hop songs like Rich Homie Quan’s 2015 smash “Flex (Ooh, Ooh, Ooh),” the term broke out in 2018 with the meme “weird flex but OK” for something odd to brag about.

I would love to know what the tattoo artist was thinking (and why they even agreed to do this).
Legen ( wait for it ) dary 3 years ago
It's not dangerous, armful and you are being fairly paid for your work. As a tattoo artist why should you care.? I'm more worried about beauty operation Dr's that put more 1000 kg of breast instead of sending the person to a psicholog.

Lazy way of getting attention, instead of accomplishing things, people choose the quick & easy way by acting out all over the place.

I'm not even sure that tattoo is accurate. If you eat enough to stain ur pinky, then shouldn't you also have some on the other parts of your fingers and palm? I think he needs to tattoo each finger segment and the palms!

BoredPanda has confused me for the past two years when they started their "glorious" censorship campaign and started to censor basic human anatomy in posts and common curse words including c**p and d**k. Yet, they give us no way to easily block trolls. They'll post cute listicle of puppies and kittens and then they will posts something completely bizarre like this...I really wonder what their hiring process is.
