I don't hear this often, but I take much of it as this type of humour.
But I also think sharing something that one is 'complected' about reduces pain.
One's fantasies about how others might view what one regards as, er, shortcomings, are nearly always more odious than the reality.
Also, mentioning something suggests, one one level, that you aren't all that bothered by it. If you were really bothered, you'd (logically, although not much in this world is logical) shut up.
So a number of defense mechanisms are served by sharing.
Anyone want to hear about my third tit? (Joking. Really. Really.)
