A flexing arc is the narrative trajectory of someone's sustained period of showing off — with a beginning, escalating climax, and often an embarrassing or humbling ending. Borrowed from storytelling, 'arc' implies this isn't just a one-off flex but a whole character journey where someone doubles down on clout-chasing until reality intervenes. The concept is popular in commentary culture where internet observers track influencers or public figures going from modest to overexposed to cancelled, noting every stage of the flexing arc with relish.
