Incorrect. It absolutely cheapens the concept, the expression was even put in quotation marks. The point emphasized (that’s what quotation marks are for) was that it’s not only that the RY is an anav, but that he has reached the peak of anavah, the tip of the blade of modesty, the “shpitz” itself. Sorry, that’s yeshivishe trash talk. You may talk like that often, but it makes a poor impression on others. Telling others to chill out is yeshivishly cool, but a Rebbe should choose his words carefully. And please use apostrophes.
Maybe commonsaychel isn’t so off the mark.
