EN: to show off; to flaunt
The art of 'flexing.' When someone posts their new iPhone, their Starbucks drink, their plane ticket, and their new shoes all in one IG story, they are trying to magparangya. It's the act of showing off, sometimes subtly (humble bragging), sometimes not-so-subtly. 'Pabili po, hindi po magpaparangya.'
From `magpa-` (causative prefix) + `dangya` (luxury, ostentation).
Carries a slightly negative connotation of ostentatious display.
