Tell me how your local tyrants answered humorously.

Humble response, self-mockery and humor, shift the focus. Say that your local humor answer can be modest first, then laugh at yourself and shift the focus. Like, "Oh, don't call me that. I'm just a happy bricklayer on the construction site. I don't deserve the title of local tyrant. " In the whole response process, you always keep a relaxed, humorous and positive attitude, which helps to ease the tension and make the conversation more enjoyable.
