Definition

惚気る (norokeru) means “to talk about one’s lovey-dovey, happy relationship in a showy and braggy way”. For instance, a lot of new couples “inadvertently” 惚気る (talk about their lovey-dovey relationship) and give their friends a cringe. These types of talks are called “惚気話(のろけばなし, noroke banashi)”.

Usage

Although the word contains a negative sense, it is usually used in a joking/casual way, such as “惚気てもいい?” meaning “Can I brag about my lovey-dovey relationship (with my partner)?”, or “もう、惚気ないでよ” meaning “Hey, stop showing about your lovey-dovey relationship!”

Related Words

A: My boyfriend just called me and said, “I just wanted to hear your voice”😊

B: 惚気るのやめてくれる?笑
B: Would you stop talking about your lovey-dovey relationship? lol
