Apparently, weirdflexer is a person who brags about something that's unusual or weird to brag about, which people would generally view as negative, as in the phrase (which I'd never heard) "weird flex but okay"

Humblebragger is someone who says something self-deprecating in an attempt to draw attention to something about which they are proud.

Oh. Well there you go then.

So it depends on the unorthodoxy of the subject matter if the humblebragger is also a weirdflexer. That makes sense.

Bad news? I screwed up my test big time. Holy shit, is it hard to think within 2 hours, and I blanked out in the exam.

It's not about how fast I know the information, damn it. Granted, programmers have deadlines at work, but not freaking 2 HOURS.

Pssssh, I got to study for Algorithms and Computational Structures.

That really sucks. Good luck on your next couple of tests!


Thanks, man! Good thing is, I am getting the hang of Algorithms... just in the nick of time, too!

For Comp. Struct? Err... I might take a while, but that is in the afternoon. I need to tackle the morning Algorithms first.

I've seen that "weird flex" phrase used online a couple of times, never cared enough to look it up. Good to be in the know even if it is a very unpleasing combination of words.

You may have done better than you think. Back when I was a student, I walked out of exams thinking I completely fucked up and still did better than I thought I did.

When I was at university, I had one exam in my final year where my mind went totally blank; couldn't remember a thing. I panicked. I forget most of the two hours. I passed (not great, but a passing mark).

So, don't count yourself out. Just keep hoping it all works out.

Actually while we're here can somebody please explain every new slang word to me. I don't know exactly when I fell out of the loop, but it was after Break the Internet, Kim and before He's running for presidential election, that Kanye.

Thot is a particular confusing one for me. I know many of the incel terms because somebody shouted a few at my spouse and me and we had to look them up.

Proceed.

Urban Dictionary tends to be the place to go to if you want to gain a particular kind of enlightenment. Thot is a term probably invented by those young men who'd wish they could be fuckboys.

That's some wonderful annotation, I appreciate attention to detail like that.

Or should I say that is cracking, my backing... Jacking.

Having never heard of "weirdflexer", I had to look it up...

Apparently, weirdflexer is a person who brags about something that's unusual or weird to brag about, which people would generally view as negative, as in the phrase (which I'd never heard) "weird flex but okay"
