The flex of pretending you don't have one.
means Modest in one's estimation of oneself, or low in rank, status, or scale.
from From Latin 'humilis,' meaning 'low' or 'on the ground' — itself rooted in 'humus,' the earth or soil. So to be humble was literally to be close to the dirt, brought down to ground level. The same earthy root quietly feeds 'humiliate' (to put someone in the dust) and, by a longer family line, 'human' — the creatures made of, and returning to, the ground.
latin rootFrom humus, meaning ground or earth.
