Tom

Did you mean “self-deprecating” instead of “self-defecating”?  Or did you really mean to sh*t on yourself?

Or is this an American usage I’m unaware of?

(Sorry, couldn’t resist…)

As a caller I've often used self-defecating humor to get dancers to relax.  It shows that we callers are human and can make mistakes etc.  It also takes the focus off of them and on to me.
