humblebrags
Disguised self-promotion attempts
Humblebrags are boasts disguised as complaints or self-deprecation: So exhausted from my third trip to Paris this year, I hate how people always assume I'm younger than I am.
The humblebrag attempts to appear modest while drawing attention to something enviable.
The irony is rarely lost on listeners.
Also used as a verb: She humblebragged about her promotion.
