humblebrag

When you use a small complaint to really flatter yourself with major compliments

Gloria: "I was trying to save a drowning child but my GIANT boobs are just so huge that they fall out of my bathing suit and got in the way of my life saving efforts."

Me: "Poor baby! You and your GIANT boobs got in the way of saving a kid. What a great humblebrag."

This is when people tell stories that are mostly true or at least plausible, and it may seem like innocent casual conversation at first, but then the real message is delivered through some sort of subtle self-promotion. Then you wonder whether ANY of the damn story was real or if it was all contrived so the speaker can brag about how wonderful they (think they) are in some way.

Girl: OMG Nick Jonas was at the Packers game yesterday and he sat in the row in front of us and he just kept turning around staring right at me and I was like wtf is he staring at. #humblebrag

- Busy start of the day with fitness in the morning and after was a part of a music video, which was cool. And now going to a photoshoot.

Humblebrag

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)
