Rehab gangster

Intermediate 📱 Gen-Z / Internet Slang

Definition

That one person in recovery who won't shut up about their supposedly hardcore past, despite everyone knowing they're about as tough as a marshmallow in a microwave. Their war stories are 90% exaggeration and 100% compensation for deep-seated insecurity. Usually spotted dominating group therapy sessions with tales that mysteriously grow more dramatic each retelling.

Example Usage

Don't mind Marcus—he's just being a rehab gangster again, claiming he ran the whole city when we all know he worked at GameStop.
