Braggers

/ˈbræɡərz/ noun

Definition

The plural form of bragger; multiple people who habitually boast or brag.

Etymology

Simply the plural form of 'bragger,' created by adding the standard English plural suffix '-s'. This regular pluralization has been standard since the word's adoption in English.

Kelly Says

English plurals seem simple, but 'braggers' shows how we add '-s' to most nouns—yet we say 'geese,' not 'gooses,' and 'children,' not 'childs.' These irregular plurals are remnants of Old English grammar that refused to disappear, making English unpredictably quirky.
