bragging rights
they are the rights granted to a person that allow said person to boast on themselves to a certain extent without being looked down on for it.
bragging rights may be granted to a person for (but not limited to) the following reasons:
-an amazing achievement
-attaining something greatly desired by many people
-an unfortunate event that can be viewed as positive for different reasons
however, using bragging rights after their expiration date may lead to extreme dislike of said person.
example 1:
scholar: finally! after so many years i finally attained my ph.d in quantum physics
average person: congratulations
example 2:
contest winner: woot!!! i called in to a radio station and scored 2 tickets to see rammstein in berlin with free air fare and hotel. plus, i get to have lunch with till lindemann !!!
average person: congratulations
example 3 (misuse of bragging rights):
50 cent : yeah, i’m gangsta. i got shot 9 times. even in the face. my music sells, i’m rich, and women love me.
average person: no, you are not gangster. anyone can get shot in the arms, legs, and jaw and survive it. your music sells because you have eminem and dr. dre behind you. furthermore, women do not love you, they love your money that you don’t deserve.

geek b: you’re a load of sh-t, no bragging rights for stupid noobs.
