The HUMBLEBRAG. We are ALL guilty of it at some point. I'm not saying HUMBLEBRAGS are a bad thing. Bottom line- they just make me laugh.
1. "Oh it was so annoying. I was talking with William Shatner last night and he kept saying
'sabatAge' instead of 'sabatOge'."
(SIDE NOTE: This is a quote from a co-worker on the art of the humblebrag)
TRANSLATION: Yes, the fact William Shatner says "sabatAge" rather than "sabatOge" may actually be annoying. But really, the point of the story is just to tell us how you've been chatting it up with William Shatner.
2. "It's so annoying. My size 2 jeans are baggy on me."
TRANSLATION: I have lost weight. Please notice. But I didn't really have any weight to lose because I was a size 2 to begin with.
3. Courtesy of twitter.com/humblebrag "Is it a bad sign if I've gone out with someone who's played a killer on #Dexter ?"
TRANSLATION: Guess what? I went out with someone who was on Dexter!!!
HUMBLEBRAGS. I find them amusing.
