adjective
1. When you, usually conciously, try to get away with bragging about yourself by couching it in a phony show of humility.
2. A form of self-promotion where the promoter brags about himself in the context of a humble statement.
I've been noticing a lot of this on social media lately. You know, when someone boasts an achievement while couching it in a statement to show their humility. For example, "On my date with the doctor last night, he whisked me to St. Tropez...but I drank wine coolers in the private jet cuz I''m just a regular girl." Woof! Yall know you have at least one friend who can't seem to go a day without a humble brag. (And yes, these are the same people who contribute to Social Media Envy.) Lemme drop some knowledge on you: a truly humble person doesn't need to brag about their accomplishments on Facebook, Twitter, or anywhere else. Let your achievements speak for themselves...The Lord will take care of the rest.
Just made another million today ... I'm unworthy of all these blessings
