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!!"
