People who know their own worth and capabilities don’t brag. In my experience, those who brag are usually insecure.
To drop your academic accomplishments in an introduction, or on a message board, is a sign of insecurity. They feel a need to prove their worth.

Obviously the guy has a short penis and cannot afford the typical ego compensating F250 diesel with truck nuts that many others so afflicted acquire.
I try to hide my accomplishments and failures upon introduction. I would rather be underestimated in a business situation than overestimated.

My Unk was a prof at Johns Hopkins, he was a Stanford PhD. When anyone introduced themselves inappropriately (by academic credentials), he would follow up and tell them what High School he graduated from (a tiny public school in rural WV) and ask them if they’d ever heard of it. Most of the academic snobs didn’t get the irony but my Uncle was brilliant and untouchable (except for the Grim Reaper
). It made him happy to smack talk them.

Idk? I know a girl that has a PhD from John's Hopkins, she never brings it up unless someone axes her.
This guy gets it, I tend to downplay the situation. And it's even more awkward when a friend introduces you as so and so does this...

I had a manager that would sign his letters with his name followed by J.D.
He failed the bar so many times that he gave up.
However, he was very proud of that Doctor of Jurisprudence

Indubitably. His sheer disregard for social graces was completely dumbfounding and totally unscrupulous.

Granted, he shouldn't have been bragging. However, a PhD is a terminal degree in contrast to law degrees and the like being professional degrees. The PhD is actually at the top of the academic ladder as it culminates in independent research aka dissertation.

Can't hear Cornell without thinking about chicken on the grill. (And Andy from The Office)
Cornell professor Robert Baker (Ph.D., Purdue) is famous for inventing a grilled chicken recipe that help make beef and pork loving Americans start eating more chicken.
He also invented the chicken nugget. Some call him the "George Washington Carver of poultry".

Cornell Chicken Barbecue Sauce, though, was his first great triumph, and what he is best known for in upstate New York. All summer, every summer, Cornell Barbecue Chicken features at backyard parties and family get-togethers.
Younger generations of Finger Lake residents don’t even recognize this as a regional specialty so much as the default way to cook chicken outdoors. “Every fund-raising event, every fire department cookout, every little league barbecue, must serve this recipe or nobody would come,” writes barbecue expert Meathead Goldwyn.
