Humbled

Verb getting humbled: to take someone's blissful pride, self-centeredness, narcissism or ego down to a point where they realize they're not the *hot shit* or *alpha* they thought they were.

Often done in a polite way without involving physical or verbal aggression, and even less so, passive-aggressiveness.
Reddit mods: (trying to insert their frail authority) We're going to protest by privating your sites for 48 hours!
Reddit CEO: (humbling their authority) open the sites or we'll replace you with other mods.
Reddit mods: (humbled, realizing they don't have any authority) woah woah easy easy look we already opened them back no need to replace us right?

The humble scale

Announcing that oneself is "humble" actually makes him/ her/ them less humble. The more that one self-proclaims "humility," the less humble that person is in reality. This is the essence of a "humble person," which is represented mathematically as follows:

Level of humble = 1 - self-proclaimed humble level
Mike: *calls himself "humblemike"*
Mike's friends: "Mike clearly isn't that humble. According to the humble scale, I think his humble level just dropped to 3%"

Humble Beef

humble beefs (noun)
Definition:

A mild or low-stakes dispute—petty drama that’s acknowledged with a wink, not a war. Usually involves light jabs, small disagreements, or playful rivalry where both sides keep it respectful. The “humble” part means the conflict is restrained, ironic, or self-aware.
Petty but Polite
A disagreement over trivial things, often couched in polite language.
Example: Arguing in the group chat about the “right” way to load the dishwasher, then ending with “lol all love.”

Friendly Fire
A rivalry between friends, often for comedic effect or inside-joke continuity.
Example: Trash-talking your friend’s favorite sports team while knowing they’ll roast you back.

Self-Deprecating Beef
When one party humorously picks a fight with themselves or admits their side is flawed.
Example: “I have humble beef with my own playlist for betraying me with a Nickelback track.”

Clout-Lite Drama
Internet spats staged for attention without actual malice—often subtle enough to fly under casual observers’ radar.
Example: Musicians throwing tiny shade at each other on Twitter so fans can “decode” it.

Petty Justice
Standing up for a principle in a way that’s obviously disproportionate to the stakes, but still kind of admirable.
Example: Leaving a Yelp review just to correct the spelling of “martini” on the menu.
