Can someone please explain to me

[scuzy]

what "stealth boast" means? i am genuinely asking!

When you post about one thing, then add in something that could be counted as boasting. :o

oh that makes sense as i have seen it on recent threads and that makes perfect sense. cheers!!

Is it right that children should do 30 hours homework???!!!!

(A few posts later)

.... Because mine's been assessed as gifted and talented and is being given extra work

(A few posts later)

.... And they've been told they've got to practice their cello for 30 hours this week so that they can perform a solo in front of the Queen in a private audience at Sandringham on Friday.

etc

cogito I do wish you'd stop quoting my posts directly..

lol Cogito .... nice example ... i understand now!

it's usually when someone have a bit of a moan or a "query" about something, simply so that they can boast about it.

ie, AIBU to think that my nanny, gardener and housekeeper should have got me a christmas present.,

they will then swear blind that the thread is, in fact, about how hurt they are at lack of present and is NOTHING to do with wanting the world to know they have staff,

I'll give you an example:

Please feel sorry for me, I'm so overweight, I can't fit into any of my size 4 jeans. What should I do? Thanks for all your help. Lots of luv 'n' hugs....

..that kind of shit...!!!

Is it indirect boasting?

ah thats the best one saythatagain!! love it!

there is alot of stealth boasting here lately then isnt there!

Yep, that's it say
