A situation in which two or more people trade an ever-escalating quantity of puns on a given topic, ending only when all except one have quit due to tiredness/boredom/psychosis/etc.
(Upon seeing that it's snowing outside)
Person A: "Snow it begins!"
Person B: "Snow comment."
Person A: "Why do you have to be snow cynical? If you don't like it, you could at least flake it."
Person B: "Whoa! Don't get flurrious with me just because you can't sleet things from my point of view."
Person A: "I have to admit: I wasn't expecting such a chilly reception. Anyway, you may be a bit of an ice queen right now, but I bet you'll warm up to things eventually."
Person B: "... You win."
Person A: "Ha! In pun-upmanship, there can only be pun!"
Is the art or practice of successively outdoing a competitor, rival or enemy/friend.
X: aww i like kati
y: ohhh yeaahh...you doo do yaa (he (y) doesn't like her but just wants to ruin the chances of them getting together, so behind (x's) back gets her (Kati) to go out with him, X is annoyed about them getting together but pretends its not bothering him, meanwhile X is using the same M.O 'method of operating' to get one back.
The one-upmanship escalates until either one stops, or they realise there both at it..(which would quite amsuing for them, or embarrasing.. depends how you take it ;)

When a man dismisses another guy's depression because he's never been through it so thinks they just need to man up. Marked by a lack of empathy and a superiority complex, an attitude born out of toxic masculinity.
Have you read that douchebag's tweets? He thinks depression isn't real and that guys just need to man up. Classic man-upmanship
Expression to describe the dedication shown by someone who is amazingly sentimental with their passion to "one,-up" an opponent, who may or may not actually be concerned with the ability of the former.
"Yo, I tried to get a handful of them zoom-zooms, but several trust fund bitches were all about that one-upmanship, offering over cost for a bulk amount that should receive bulk rates.."
short for one-upmanship.
He always exercises upmanship upon me.
