English term or phrase: dirtkicking disingenuousness
One finds in his manner much dirtkicking disingenuousness as though he was saying, “aw shucks, folks – this is only
my quirky preference – but you might just find it congenial, so I’ll throw it in.”

Italian translation:falsa modestia
Explanation:
In questo contesto sarebbe qualcuno che racconta i proprio opinioni con falsa modestia/pudore/ingenuità, con le mani infilate nelle tasche, fingendo di fissare il punto del piede che struscia la terra in modo sconsiderato. Certi modi di Freud sarebbe più per l'edificazione del suo ego che per il bene del lettore.

Un po' parac**o, ecco :)

#dirtkicking

dirt kicking**
Considered by some to be a cowardly skill, dirt kicking gives the clever combatant a chance to blind his opponent by casting dirt into his eyes. The blindness does not last long, but can provide an edge in combat. Dexterity helps in hitting or avoiding a dirt kick. This skill is particularly nasty when coupled with the disarm skill, since people cannot pick up their weapons again immediately afterwards. In addition, spellcasters cannot gate out of combat if they are dirtkicked.

Notes to answerer
Asker: volevo chiederti, quindi il dirtkicking non è da intendersi in senso così negativo come "giocare sporco" o simili? Puoi trovare un aggettivo per tradurlo?

subdola ipocrisia


Explanation:
La intenderei come a dire di una persona che dica "è solo il mio parere, ma è l'idea giusta", che giochi in maniera subdola per far passare la sua idea mal simulando insicurezza.
