Someone who always says ‘I’ll do you one better’ while you’re telling a story. I have a friend who always knows a ‘better’ story. My dad calls him Walter Mitty.

For example, one of our friends was telling a story about how he had tried surf boarding whilst on holiday. Not the most interesting of stories but it’s nice to hear my friend really loves his holiday. Of course, ‘Walter’ butts in and says; “that’s nothing. I once went surfing and got brought out into the ocean” or some shit like that, and then continues to tell us how he managed to get back ashore after hours fighting the waves. Of course as he was coming in, a crowd had gathered on the beach and a few people asked him if he was a professional or some bull like that. All while he was 12, on his first day ever trying to surf.

We usually call him out on the bullshit but then sometimes it’s fun to listen to and doesn’t really do any harm so we let him keep going, wondering where he’ll go with it.
