A braggart might seem like a cocky fellow. Even something of a dick. But you can hardly blame them. After all, the word “braggart” is descended from “breeches” aka medieval underwear. Its thought to refer to someone who spent too much time showing off their codpiece and presumably making claims about their prowess that could not be verified. Beware the brag of a man who talks about what’s in his pants.
