se efferre, se jactare (insolenter), gloriari, gloria et praedicatione sese efferre. To boast of or in a thing, aliqua re, or de, or in aliqua re gloriari: jactare, ostentare, venditare aliquid. He boasts and brags as high as ever, nec quicquam jam loquitur modestius. He boasts of his villainy, in facinore et scelere gloriatur. He boasts of his own deeds, suarum laudum praeco est; sua narrat facinora.
