Social Distance Shaming

to publicly humiliate someone for not following CDC guidelines regarding social distancing during the coronavirus outbreak
Joanne felt she was a victim of social distance shaming the moment she stepped off the plane from Wuhan China.
(v.) the act of bringing embarassment to a drunk individual. The individual is usually sober, but if drunk enough, shaming can occur while the subject is awake. All shamings should be recorded in some form, either through pictures or movies. Shamings usually occur because the individual passed out first or passed out with their shoes on.

Shaming can be a number of things: piling random objects on a person jenga-style, writing on them with permanent ink, shaving or cutting the individual's hair into embarassing styles (ex: a mullet), or any other creative way to bring embarassment upon the intoxicated party without their knowledge.

Sometimes referred to as the individual being "owned".
The freshman was so drunk that he passed out first AND with his shoes on, that we shamed him by duct-taping him to the couch, piling food on him, and drawing obscene things on his face.

fit shaming 

Claiming that people who are active, healthy and God forbid have the slightest care about their physical appearance are terrible, shallow people. This makes it more acceptable to eat cake all day and never see the light of day or walk anywhere. This practice of shaming was made up by the larger members of society who have less self esteem and try to make it look out of the norm to be fit and healthy. This kind of practice makes it seem more normal for someone to be on a scooter at age 30 with no joint problems compared to someone who regular goes to the gym.
Kelly: You eat too healthy and are way to active! Your so shallow!

Pete: No, your just fit shaming me so you feel better about your body...
