Vent-buddying

Vent-buddying is a term used when two people are arguing about which one of them is better, cuter, smarter, etc. It originates from the the phrase “vent buddy” which is a person you share your thoughts and feelings to, and in return they make you feel better. Vent buddies often will say that you are better than them, hence the word “vent-buddying.”

Stella: You’re the best!!
Lizzy: No, you’re way better!
