One Upper

If you have had a bad day, a one-upper has had the absolute worst day of their entire life and possibly the worst in recorded history.

If you met a hot guy on vacation, the one-upper is dating Brad Pitt or 胡歌 or 霍建华 right now.

The one-upper is the most obnoxious and hateable person you have ever met, but they are probably proud that they have one-upped everyone else you ever thought you hated.
