Usually occurs during a conversation including 3 or more people, where one person says something offensive unknowingly about one of the other people there. As they try to explain themselves they 'dig' themselves further and further into a 'grave'. The bystander usually yells 'Graveyarding!', or 'You're in the graveyard!' to let the offender know what's going on.
