Humble
Seriously, why describe yourself as humble? Does it have a slang meaning I'm missing (like wicked sick = WOW amazing)because it is not a sexy word. To me it says hello, may I be your doormat?
Official definition -
1. having or showing a modest or low estimate of one's importance.
"I felt very humble when meeting her"
synonyms: meek, deferential, respectful, submissive, self-effacing, unassertive, unpresuming;
2. of low social, administrative, or political rank.
"she came from a humble, unprivileged background"
synonyms: low-ranking, low, lowly, lower-class, plebeian, proletarian, working-class, undistinguished, poor, mean, ignoble, of low birth, low-born, of low rank;
So when a guy describes himself as humble, whoa, haud me back. NOT.
I'm obviously missing something. If it now means full of fun, rampant libido, and a real guy's kinda guy, I have been blocking a lot of exciting men lately.

Art is more of a ‘mumble’ man
Most men are the mumble kind, aren't they? Then they can say 'I never said that, you heard me wrong' or 'I always tell you, you don't listen' and other useful porkies
Mimi! ! Mumbles are better than humbles
Hair, under, my, bottom, lip, everyday.
No thankyou
And that of course was the other thing, so many who call themselves humble are anything but, and a humble opinion is actually a fairly stubborn one.
Now you've thrown me with agape, which in divinity classes at school had a completely different meaning. I like the definition you give
I still think humble is a very misleading word to use, although I'm getting more from it now.
I like a proud sausage, standing tall.
under promise and over deliver? maybe?
So that's what your reaction would be? That's a long way off some of the others
But the hard sausage has me
B, please describe a humble sausage.
in English, anyway. But not, I think, in American.
As you were
