Okay, I need to vent for a minute here about the ubiquitous use lately of the word “humbled” in posts all over the place about various awards/honors/interviews/press/accolades/handjobs that people have received and want to promote and/or link to. Shorter: you’re not. I don’t think that word means what you think it means. Have you been humiliated, chagrined, or brought low before your peers? No? Then shut the fuck up with your humblebragging. See below for a list of words you should use in its stead:
thrilled
elated
overjoyed
grateful
gratified
excited
shiny
tickled
titillated
ebullient
over the moon
stoked
beyond stoked*
chuffed
dead chuffed
psyched
damp
moist
sopping
aroused
quarter-chubby
half-hard
fully engorged
a human jizz tsunami
it’s okay, it happens to lots of guys
Thank you for your cooperation.

Excellent. I also hate bloggers who retweet a compliment or any praise type comment they have been given. It really grinds my gears.
I also hate “awesome.” So over and incorrectly used. Not humble bragging but annoying as hell.
Nice photo.
