Pareboda

Pareboda is a Filipino term that refers to a boastful or exaggerated statement or claim. It often implies an overstatement of one's abilities, possessions, or accomplishments, sometimes to the point of being unbelievable or ridiculous. The term carries a connotation of self-aggrandizement and is used to describe someone who is prone to bragging. It can also refer to an extravagant or ostentatious display intended to impress others. While not always malicious, pareboda is often perceived negatively, implying a lack of humility and a tendency towards vanity. The word is most commonly used in informal conversation and writing.
