Figures it would be a show I don't watch. So I miss humblebrag but I learned wincest. Ug. I'm going to have to ask my mother-in-law for that Yiddish word as I can't think of it myself.
Wincest - a term used mostly in fan fiction to denote the romantic coupling of brothers Sam and Dean Winchester from the show Supernatural. Related to the term Slash, used for pairings of same sex couples, most usually male (Kirk/Spock = Kirk slash Spock).
