What is bumble-bragging?
Humble-bragging
happens when someone makes a comment that used self-deprecation to announce
something about which they want to boast. It may seem as if that person is sharing
a personal critique, but he or she is actually using that as an excuse for
showing off.
Examples:
- “I’m such a homebody,
and I’m getting sick of having to attend so many celebrity galas.”
- “I may be aging, but
I can still fit into my wedding dress 30 years later.”
- “Bored out of my
mind. I can’t stand these country club functions my spouse drags me to.”
- “I’ve got nothing to
wear to Wimbledon this year. That’s what losing 50 pounds will get you.”
- “Call me petty, but
this year’s Oscar-winning actor isn’t that handsome, up close and
personal.”
- Just diagnosed with
skin cancer. That’ll teach me to stay out of the sun on those annual
Caribbean cruises.”
