Get the humblebragmug. Pretty much anything Gwyneth Paltrow tweets can be considered humblebragging.
"Who do I have to bang to get an advance copy of the new @coldplay album? I mean, really." -Gwyneth Paltrow

Get the humblebraggingmug. A typical and popular approach is to use a disingenuous complaint about something, a self-deprecating statement or a comment on something completely innocuous, as a vehicle to deliver the real message, which invariably shows the person in a favourable light. In fact it shows what Slapdick they are.
Stayin humble. Always grateful. "Good things come to those who wait." Lovin my new whip. #HardWorkPaysOff

Get the Humblebragmug. A brag disguised as humility about being humble — usually to flex even harder without looking like you're trying.
It’s not just “I’m so blessed.” It’s “I don’t even try, I just keep succeeding... I feel kinda bad about it.”
The “double humblebrag” is the 4D chess of social flexing:
You're humble about being humble about a brag — but it’s all still a brag.

You're humble about being humble about a brag — but it’s all still a brag.
1. “Ugh, I wasn’t even prepared for the interview... but I guess being too natural just works sometimes.”
→ Double humblebrag detected.
2. “I used to care about being the best, but I’ve grown. Now I just let the universe make things easy for me.”
→ That’s a spiritually enlightened flex. Classic double humblebrag.

Get the Double Humblebragmug. A form of PR or just plain boasting in the form of faux humility combined with the brag, that has now reached epidemic proportions on LinkedIn such that almost every post is now a form of humblebrag. Usually identified as any post that starts with an excessive emotional adjective like delighted, honoured, thrilled, excited, humbled, surprised, etc. or in the case of announcing new star hires, welcome or congratulations. Normally elicits a few sycophantic thumbs up reactions and vast quantities of silent puking.
Post: "honoured and humbled to be awarded 2023 best investment banker ever - congratulations to my team who made it all possible!"
Reaction: yet another humblebrag
CEO Post: "welcome to the team Alex Smith, former head of everything at Goldman Sachs - thrilled and humbled to have you join us on our exciting journey"
Employee Reaction: lets see how long that humblebrag lasts when he goes after your job...

Get the Humblebragmug. To not brag as braggers do, but rather to admit an accolade or achievement only to quickly say thereafter, "But enough about me, what about you?"
I prefer humblebrag, more so than sitting around all day boring people with my AoY-y (Achievements of Yester-year)

Get the Humblebragmug. That CEO is alway humblebragging with things like "I’m so honored to have failed 10 times before finally becoming a great asset to our community”
