Explanibrag

Bragging disguised as providing an explanation.

From the NBC show "Community":

Or what you’ll do twice as much work for the doctor for half the pay!? —Jeff Winger

Britta: That's called a COMPLISULT, part compliment, part insult, he invented them, I coined the term. See what I just did there. That’s an EXPLANIBRAG.

Bragging under the guise of an explanation. One typically thinks he/she can get away with it because the person they're bragging to asked for the explanation.

K: Why didn't you reblog that photo if you like it so much?
J: I can't just reblog anything, I have 82 followers and they expect consistency.
K: Nice explanibrag.
J: What? I'm just answering your question.
K: uhuh
