whether it is men making unlikely claims to impress the laydees or internet users trying to appear bigger, better and more important than they really are, hilariously unlikely boasts are something most of us have encountered. to help i have compiled a handy guide to what they really mean:
"i work for the fbi" often hinted at rather than stated outright = "i am a traffic warden"
"i train tigers" = "i taught my kitten to go potty"
"i can lift my own weight over my head" = "i can lift the weight i was as a newborn baby over my head"
anybody heard any hard to believe bragging lately? and what do you think the real meaning of said brags is?

It is a curse and so rampant that it has made people distrustful to the point they no longer believe me when I inform them my dog is writing a paper on "Whether both universals and particulars are suitable candidates for Tractarian objects?"
all the best urban

Got nothing really to add except a little story. I was at a party many years ago and a man was trying to impress me. He didn't seem to care that my husband was watching him closely - just waiting for him to make a move. Anyway - he asked me to go outside with him as he had something 12 inches long to show me. I sweetly told him that I was not interested as I had a gold chain already

You can believe what you like. The story is true. The line was first used by a GF of mine and I used it on this occasion because it was appropriate. I had better not say anything more as I do not lie and neither do I quarrel.

When you're a geek like I am, you'll realize that other people have very different definitions of the phrase "pretty good at"
"Yeah, I'm pretty good at astronomy" = I know the names of all the planets
"Yeah, I'm pretty good at math" = I remember how to do math with letters
"Yeah, I'm pretty good at English" = I know how to use apostrophes (but don't ask about semicolons)
"Yeah, I'm pretty good at chemistry" = I can name molecular compounds with prefixes lower than "tri"

Its funny how in chat rooms ppl get all gangsta and wanna try to attack you online. It is hilarious . I think we can attribute this to the fact that most people do not like who they are and will try to make you feel the same. We all have short-commings, acknowledge them and get over it.
