Humble Brag

A form self promotion where the promoter thinks he is, almost subliminally, bragging about himself in the context of a humble statement or complaint. Everyone listening thinks he a jackass.

I am exhausted from my two week vacation to Hawaii. I need a vacation.

Nice Humble Brag, asshole.

Humble Up

To swallow your pride and accept the idea that someone else has a better idea on how to solve the problem you created for yourself.

I told him it was time to Humble Up and let me solve the problem that he had created.

humble

1. An admirable quality that not many people possess. It means that a person may have accomplished alot, or be alot but doesn't feel it is necessary to advertise or brag about it.

2. To degrade, to cut one's ego down to size. It is not necessarily done in a rude fashion but it SHOULD BE.

1. I envy humble people. If I told a humble person what I thought about people with humility, they'd probably not even recognize themselves as humble and ask why I'm calling them that. Too bad I don't know any humble people.

2. "DAMMIT, her bragging is getting on my NERVES! Someone REALLY needs to humble that asshat!!"

humblebrag

To bring up one's accomplishments in conversation and contextualize them as a harrowing burden or the product of an accident or fluke.

Peter was telling me that he has four job offers, but he doesn't know how it happened because he's "dumber than an unfrozen cavemen." I wish that dude would just own up to his accomplishments, I'm tired of his humblebrag routine.
