What People Mean When They Say Bococky
Bococky is a label for swagger that tips into arrogance. It points to the person who is acting like they are above the room, not just confident.
The word lands as a quick social check. It is less about actual skill and more about the energy someone gives off when they are bragging, flexing, or talking down to other people.
How Bococky Shows Up Online
