proxyshame 

Feeling shame or embarassment for another person when they don't seem to have the sense to be embarassed by their own actions or words.

********************************************
There is a word in German, "FREMDSCHÄMMEN" which means the same thing, however, I noticed a niche that needed to be filled for English speakers.
There are so many eejits on Britain's Got Talent, that I feel myself in a constant state of proxyshame whilst watching.

Utility beer 

Utility beer is the beer you keep around for the day-to-day moments when beer is a necessity to assist in pedestrian activities (golf, plumbing, yardwork, babysitting, staff meetings, Zoom calls). For the beer snob it is the beer you save for neighbors when they drop in at 3 p.m. on a Tuesday. It is differentiated from the actual high-end beer you save for special events, holidays, and special tastings.
Person 1: Dave, did you bring along those hazy craft IPA's so we could drink while cleaning Lyle's pool?
Person 2: Nope. I just have a bunch of utility beer that Steve dumped on me. Good enough for this. It is only 10:30 a.m.
