abey
One who patently (and pathetically) exaggerates one's accomplishments due to pervasive feelings of insecurity and worthlessness.  A pseudo-narcissist if you will...  
person 1:  I was accepted to every school in the Ivy League, but didn't attend, as I have no need to childishly prove myself to the world.  I attend El Generico State University, because it's just as good, if not better!

(**person 2 thinking privately to himself):  She's always been a bit of an abey...      

person 1:  I also won the Nobel Peace Prize for 2006 last month, but chose not to accept it, as I feel it's a completely overrated award.  I told them to give it to Muhammad Yunus and Grameen Bank instead.    

(**person 2 thinking privately to himself):  Riiight...   
  
person 1:  Miuccia asked me to walk in her show at Fashion Week, but I declined, as I only strut the runways for Eddie Bauer.  Why would anyone want to wear Prada anyway?  I told her to use Gemma instead.  
    
(**person 2 thinking privately to himself):  Umm...  You're 5'3" and shaped like a gourd. How could you be a runway model?  And Eddie Bauer doesn't even have a show at Fashion Week.  It's not even couture.     

person 1:  Well, I must be off!  President Bush wants me to negotiate a truce between Israel and Hezbollah.

(person 1 actually walks off to her apartment to watch a rerun of "Friends" while scarfing down a pint of Ben & Jerry's Chunky Monkey)

person 2 (out loud to no one in particular):  Why do I talk to her?
