There is a thread in Special Efforts about Real life sections, that may be a good place if you want to discuss it further. link here. It's on the last page, because you don't need to read all twelve pages of that thread.

Good God, removed duplicate, non-specific, idiotic, and badly written examples. I'm still not sure we need a real life section for that but will watchlist the page.

I made a mention of it in the thread in Special Efforts as suggested... Thanks for your intervention too, bc. ^_^

If you don't mind my asking, do you find that the "trope" in question (if one can call it that) is unintuitive in its naming? My first thought when I consider Self-Deprecation has nothing to do with it specifically being used for humour... but more along the lines of the Heroic Self-Deprecation trope (albeit not necessarily including the heroism).
