Idiom of the day
false modesty
A vain or hypocritical pretense of holding a low or humble opinion of oneself, one's abilities, or one's circumstance so as to encourage others to say the opposite.
There's no need for that false modesty here; you are fully aware of your success and achievement, and you don't need me to reaffirm it for you.
I find her false modesty quite unbecoming.
