Presuming can consist of assuming, inferring or deducing.
Show off is a verb that has different meanings. It may be the action of assuming, inferring, deducing or conceptualizing something from some signs .
For example: “Seeing Ricardo's attitude, you can assume that he will not help us,” “Why should I assume that the business will be a failure?” I think there are possibilities of being successful” , “A journalist should not boast: a journalist has to investigate and verify the data he finds” .
You have to go to Latin to find the etymological origin of the term. Specifically, it derives from the verb praesumere , which can be translated as “suspect” and is composed of two different parts: the prefix pre- , which means “before” ; and the verb sumere , which is equivalent to “take for oneself.”
What does bragging consist of?
Bragging generally involves making presumptions or presuppositions. A person may notice that a new clothing store opened around the corner from their house and, based on their knowledge of the neighborhood, assume that it will do well, since there are no other businesses of its type in the area.
When showing off applies to a person, it can refer to someone who pays a lot of attention to their appearance to appear attractive or elegant: “Tonight I'm going to show off my new suit,” “I can't stand women who always want to show off their curves.”
Someone who is conceited usually boasts.
Story "The conceited little rat"
Precisely starting from that meaning we find the title of a famous story: “The conceited little rat.” It is a popular work that takes as its protagonist a young rat who loves to take care of herself and show off her beauty. This animal will have to choose a suitor to marry among the many who will knock on the door of its house.
This story has been passed down from generation to generation. And it is useful for children not only to learn the different types of animals that exist, but also to teach them that they should not only be carried away by appearances.
Bragging as a negative action
Showing off also refers to what subjects do that glorify, exalt, or exalt themselves . In this case, accusing someone of being conceited is usually a criticism or disqualification.
If a man says to another “Stop showing off your new car,” he will be referring to a certain attitude of the subject, who seeks to boast about his acquisition and, in this way, arouse the admiration or even the envy of those around him.
Currently, one of the tools that is most used to show off is the set of social networks. And there are people who do not hesitate to use the accounts they have on Facebook or Instagram to boast, through photographs and videos, of aspects such as their image, the vacations they have enjoyed, the parties where they have been or even the activities that they have done. In this way, they boast of having an enviable life, which makes them feel “above” others.
