In
ancient Greece: The sin of thinking you are above
the gods or forgetting to give them credit when they have helped you. Of course they don't tell you when they help you, you are just supposed to know. Committing hubris ALWAYS leads to
nemesis, the gods' punishment.
Example:
Oedipus: Yes! I have rid this country of evil.
All by myself! *hubris*
Athena: No, damn it, I helped you! Respect me! Oh well, I'll just kill you then. *
nemesis*

Hubris is a mental state where someone (usually while playing a video game) thinks that he or she is the MAN. This is a common human trait however there are few who merit the reputation of
hubris. One can tell when another displays hubris as
trash talk, derogatory language involving relatives, siblings and
sodomy are expressed. Hubris often leads to a person's downfall or humility especially after being defeated and excuses are often made. Hubris is often found in
dorms and buildings where video games take place however there are a few exceptions.There are many forms of hubris and is often perceived as a fatal flaw.
Example:
Here is a display and verbal use of hubris.
"A person taking off his shirt after a game and make rubbing it into the other player's face." This often results in the man displaying hubris to put a shirt on.
This is merely a verbal display of hubris
"Look at you, you come out of pipes and I step out from darkness." The one displaying hubris was later teamed upon on and thoroughly destroyed.
Things often associated with hubris
"A pale boy from
Fuess, A brown boy from
Stearns, Ganondorf, the LORD,
Henningsen."

Example:
E.g. Thomas Tomstall passed his driving test
making a point out of it by
jingling his keys and comparing his driving skills to the size of his penis. Later that day young Thomas was driving down a country lane at 90mph when low and behold he got air in his car and flipped over a ravine.
The next day when his class mates found out about
Thomas's fate all that could be said was "LOL! HUBRIS!"
