Examples

“O I could play the woman with mine eyes, / And Braggart with my tongue.”

“Shallow water gives a great splash, and so a braggart has ever been contemptible in my eyes.”

“A very good resolve to make and keep, if you would also keep any friends you make, is never to speak of anyone without, in imagination, having them overhear what you say. One often hears the exclamation “I would say it to her face!” At least be very sure that this is true, and not a braggart’s phrase and then—nine times out of ten think better of it and refrain.”
