also does this imply that the only things that you can possibly boast about are money, achievements, and possessions? that's silly.

the key to being a good arbiter is to not be a dick about it

Pride in frugality isn't quite boasting, imo.

why not? a dictionary will tell you that to boast is 'to speak with pride.' so if you are proud of something, and feel it necessary to tell the world all about it it is boasting.

you might have a different feeling toward someone boasting about a sweet deal they got vs. the someone boasting that they never spend less than $200 for a meal, but they are boasting just the same.

You're not really coming from the higher position though... To me you can boast about your BMW to a guy in a Kia, but the guy in the Kia isn't really boasting when he talks about getting better mileage.

but it's not, though. someone could boast about being convicted of raping children. if they are proud of it and feel the need to tell others it is boasting just the same.

if it is in rebuttal to a boast, than perhaps its not boasting. but if a guy comes in and says my new Kia gets 69mpg and you're thinking my '87 chrysler 5th ave. gets 8mpg you going to consider that boasting.

a boast is a boast, regardless of the position of the people that happen to hear it.

In showing how cheap your food is and seeming to be happy with it nonetheless, the boast is really that Trots doesn't need a lot of money to have a good time, which kind of implies that he's a better sort of person, because needing a lot of money to have a good time, is widely regarded as a negative trait - because it's entitled, wasteful, narcissistic, etc. and the attitude of a shallow, materialistic person.

So basically any time you talk about yourself, when are you not boasting?

People who spend money on food are dumb! I buy excellent food for cheap at a truck!!!!

If talking about eating at a nice restaurant is boasting, then so is that. This isn't complicated, guys. I don't think either is boasting, tbh. trots is the one who brought it up jesus.

I'd begin my career in prostitution and take the money as a charge for my services.
