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!

Best to not waste your breath trying to explain it people like her. Its like trying to teach a pig to whistle. Wastes your time and annoys the pig.

It's really sad how the current GOP are so willing to cut off USA's nose to spite the face. To them, Trump could literally do no wrong and anyone else can do no right.

If you aren't getting what you want from someone, you generally aren't happy. All these people were getting exactly what they wanted from the previous administration. I have no love for either party right now but we can all agree that the reason they don't want to talk to Biden is because he's for human rights, which is very much against what all of the people on her list are against.

But it was all cool when Obama vacationed in Cuba.. right! People aren't smart enough to realize Trump didn't create the isht show.. the lifetime politicians have but keep voting for them because they don't mean tweet, they just make racist policies and spend all of our tax dollars on foreign affairs.

Hello blind follower of Trump. Who tanked the economy, egged on the insurrectionists, and spread hate and misinformation all across America? Who spent 1/3 of his presidency golfing? Who hid extremely important papers in Mar-A-Lago? Trump.

They don't hate Biden. They certainly don't fear him. Russia is flouting him. China has his son in their hip pocket. Iran is going to have a nuke any day now. The Taliban have BILLIONS of dollars worth of military equipment for free. And the rest of the world thinks he is a laughing stock.

-L-W-I-A-Y- Report

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.

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.

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.
