Something immediately annoyed writer Harris Wittels about Twitter.
All of a sudden it was OK to brag, so long as those brags were
ever-so-thinly masked in crappy, transparent humility. Once Harris
identified this widespread issue, he decided to take action by
naming this phenomenon and creating the twitter account called
Humblebrag--solely dedicated to retweeting the humblebrags of
others. Started less than a year ago, the Twitter feed is literally
adding thousands of subscribers every day. A humblebrag, as defined
by Harris, is a specific type of boast that allows the offender to
broadcast their achievements without the necessary shame and guilt
that should normally accompany such claims. Here are two examples:
@JoshHighland tweets: "Just filed my taxes. Biggie was right, mo
money mo problems." @glowyjoeybunny tweets: "I hate when I go into
a store to get something to eat and the male staff are too busy
hitting on me to get my order right :( so annoying!" Harris also
shows us what humblebrags might look like from some of history's
most notable names, as well as devoting an entire chapter to
@TotesMcGotes, the greatest humblebraggart of them all.
