farcissism

A portmanteau of "farce" and "narcissism." A self-aware, semi-ironic expression of vanity or egocentrism. May be a tounge-in-cheek way of displaying healthy, high self-esteem, a hyperbolic way of building up from low-self esteem, or a conflation of both. Used mainly to describe Twitter personas and Instagram selfies.

"I only brag about giving good head because I think it's hilarious. I don't really think it makes me special, it's just farcissism."

"Amy Schumer is my favorite comedian. Her brand of farcissism is so funny."

"Kanye West can't be that much of an egomaniac, right? Some of that has gotta be farcissism."
