[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many people brag on LinkedIn and other social media about receiving awards, and then say they are “Truly humbled.” No you aren’t. If you were you wouldn’t be broadcasting about yourself on social media. You are “honored.” Just a vent because I’m home sick and cranky.[/quote] I’ve been saying this for years! What are they even trying to say when they claim they are humbled? Did this cliche originally mean they were feeling humble in light of the enormity of the honor? Humble alongside such great fellow honorees? Whatever it was supposed to mean, people definitely now use it Willy nilly to mean honored or just to inject some meaningless humility into their brag.
