What's a stealth boost?

It is when someone slips in a brag when they pretend to be talking about something else.

So, for example;

I have this awful problem. I'm so attractive and I look very young for my age and modelling scout just KEEP asking me to model for Vogue and it's getting annoying now .

Like ‘I find cleaning my seven bedroom house such a bind’ or ‘anyone struggle to get their child to eat chips? It’s so embarrassing when they just want lentil salad.’

That made me proper LOL!

'To ask how I can make ends meet when I'm only on £100k a year'

Or;

I was driving my 5 amazing children to their school for high achievers, in my extremely expensive car, down the huge drive from my mansion and someone was parked in an annoying place. I got all flustered and that was annoying as I had to go on after school run to run 20 miles and then had a meeting (I'm a CEO of a FTSE 100 company btw).

They are often not true

Something like this:

'I'm really struggling at the moment and need advice please. I have more money in my bank account than I know what to do with and my siblings are all jealous of how rich I am and being mean t9 me, what should I do".

Or

" gosh, it's so hard, does anyone else find it difficult just doing normal things like going to the shops because they get hit on and asked out all the time by random strangers. I mean I'm 5ft 10, a size 8 and have done some modelling, but I just don't understand what's going on. Can anyone relate?"

It's an insult hurled at someone who dares to have something that's upsetting them while at the same time being wealthy.

I was discussing this with my pool boy the other day.

"My children said they didn't want to put anything on their Christmas lists because they have enough already."

"I'm a wealthy, well educated, beautiful woman. How do I stop men chatting me up?" "My beautiful house in a fabulous location means people keep putting notes through the door asking to buy it and I find this incredibly intrusive" "my children have been picked to play for England junior cricket team and we need to go on an all expenses cricket tour of the West Indies, I'm really struggling to pack appropriately"

I don't believe anyone can shop for a family for £70 pw, I spend more than that in fruit and veg alone.

My DC just inhale blueberries and peaches. I had to lock away the celery because DS2 just kept finishing it off and there was none left for anyone else.

Google is your friend according to my Butler

Help me understand DDs GCSE results. She has 9 A*s and 6 Grade 9s. I don't understand what this means, when I did my O-levels and CSEs the grading system was completely different.

@WeveGottaGetTherouxThis actual LOL

I’ve been blissfully happily married for ten years. My husband tells me I’m beautiful every day after he’s cleaned the house from top to bottom and bathed and fed the kids. Is this a red flag?

I can't decide if we should sell our yacht. We usually use it when we go to our villa in Monaco, but due to Covid we wil be staying at either our mansion in Beverly Hills or one of our holiday homes in Sandbanks this year.

I can't seem to put on weight, no matter how hard I try.

I'm so silly! I can't set the timer on my brand new top the range cooker in my shiny newly installed kitchen.

DS, aged 6, was mugged the other day on his way back from his Advanced Mandarin lesson. They stole the seven hundred quid he'd saved up from his pocket money and was about to give to charity, ate the houmous he'd made himself for lunch, and also ripped up his offer letter from Oxford.

He won't let me call the police about the muggers. After all, it's just a snapshot of their day.

Oh it's such a bind ,ds has been offered places at both Oxford and Cambridge and also Harvard ,he's really struggling to know where to go for the best does anyone have any experience?

Our nanny normally has a Tuesday off but has asked to swap this to a Wednesday so that she can study part-time. AIBU to refuse as I like a lie in on a Wednesday. Tuesday is more convenient as MIL will swing by & take the DCs to school on her way to work. I don’t work myself.

😂😂

It's a boast disguised as a complaint or moan e.g. I went out this morning without washing my hair or putting make up on and still got whistled at! It's so annoying.

Or (real one) a client gave me a helicopter flight as a thank you - I'm worried I won't enjoy it.
