"Humble brag" có humble là khiêm tốn, nhún nhường, brag là khoe khoang khoác lác -> từ này nghĩa là (giả vờ) nói giảm, nói khéo để khiến người khác để ý (tới thành tích, ưu điểm... của bản thân); 'một lần khiêm tốn bằng bốn lần tự kiêu'.

“I’m going to go ‘humble brag’ here—I’m just going to throw it out there,” Vitello said. “The only reason I know we’re playing Notre Dame was from one text message, and that was from Peyton Manning.

And thank you for allowing me to brag (khoe khoang) that Peyton sent my phone a text message.”
