Basking in reflected glory, also known as BIRGing, refers to the tendency of individuals to associate themselves with the successful, the famous, or the celebrated. A baseball fan's use of the inclusive term we to describe the victory of his or her favorite team (as in âWe wonâ) is an example of BIRGing. Mentioning that one has taken a class taught by a Nobel Prize winner is also an example of basking in reflected glory.
