To brag or not to brag? The etiquette is more confusing than ever | Emma Beddington

Do you shout your achievements from the rooftops, or move in silence' while waiting for the perfect moment to flex online? If only we could all sit this one out

I have belatedly discovered the phrase move in silence". Apparently, Lil Wayne instructed people to do it in 2011 with the line: Real Gs move in silence like lasagne," a lyric that prompted various polemics (is the G in lasagne actually silent?). Even then, a music commentator told Billboard it was such an old concept". It hadn't broken through in the south side of Brussels, where I was living then (despite lasagne, happily, being plentiful).

I was finally alerted to moving in silence" by an Instagram post. The phrase grabbed me, since I am a cheerleader for silence. My take is: the more people move in silence, the better, especially if they are in coach H of the 8.02 York to London King's Cross. It's the Quieter" coach! Don't make me stare pointedly at the sign and sigh!
