A word that was originally meant to describe embarrassingly stupid individuals & actions.
You know the feeling you get when you hear those really weird embarrassing stories in the news? Thats what the word was originally used for.
Now this word has been completely butchered & overkilled by internet trolls, cyber bullies, anti-bronies, & keyboard warriors.
Thanks to all the trolls on the internet who constantly misuse/overuse this word, the word cringe is now a cringeworthy word.
People who use the word cringe alot tend to be covering up something cringeworthy about themselves.

The Cringe Channel (aka anti-bronies, trolls, cyber bullies, unite!) has completely butchered the word Cringe.
You keep using the word 'cringe'. I dont think it means what you think it means.
Troll: The cringe is strong with this one.
Troll: you make me cringe
While there are many bronies who actually are cringeworthy, anti-bronies use the word cringe to describe all people who like Friendship is Magic
