to show off · to brag about something cool · to flaunt
Ever feel like someone's just showing off their cool new gadget or their latest achievement? That's when you use 'flex'! It's all about making sure everyone knows about your awesome new thing or skill, often in a casual, slightly boastful way. 💪✨
💡 **Pro Tip!** While 'flex' often means showing off material things (like a new car or clothes), it can also be used for skills or achievements, like 'flexing your coding skills' or 'flexing your knowledge'. It's generally used playfully, but can sometimes imply a bit of friendly competition!
When would you most naturally use the word 'flex'? A. 😭 When you are feeling sad and want to cry. B. 😎 When you proudly show off your new expensive headphones. C. 🤫 When you are trying to keep a secret from your friends.
