prouds

In text-only conversations, such as email, IM, or status updates, this word means "looks proud" or "looks
smug".
It can often be intended ironically, especially when somebody has done something
dubious or
unhygienic but still feels the need to tell others about it.
Example:
Conversation 1 (straight usage):
HMB: Hey, I got
sworn in at the high court this week as a lawyer! Woo hoo!
DTM: Oh wow! Respect! I'd imagine you're over the moon about this!
HMB: Yes. Yes, I am. *prouds*
Conversation 2 (ironic usage):
HMB:
I breathed on a kitten once, and it got real sick. *prouds*
DTM: Dude, WTF.
