Walk of Shame  

The walk from another person(s) house, apartment, condo, dorm, van, bar, park bench or other; to your place of residence wearing the same clothes you had on the night before.

Typically used when someone leaves the home of a sexual escapade (quite possibly with someone you met the night before) in the morning; hair sticking out in all directions, lines on your face, and missing at least one article of clothing.

In the event that your “Walk of Shame” did include sex, you may be wearing your partner’s clothes. If you did not have sex you probably did get into a fight, damaged property, was escorted off someone’s premises, or in someway embarrassed yourself. In any case you will need to check yourself for injuries.
Still half-drunk, I began the walk of shame to my room, and made a futile attempt to recall all that I had done on Friturday.

International Walk of Shame 

Spending 10+ hours travelling back from a week long transatlantic booty call... sitting on one of those little haemorrhoid do-nuts cos you're so sore economy seating just won't cut it.....
Look at that poor girl in the seat opposite, she walked on to the plane like John Wayne trailing two suitcases behind her... must be doing the ol' international walk of shame!

theme park walk of shame 

This is when you get in line for a ride at a theme park, yet towards the end of the queue your nerves take over, and you decide against it. Then you have to walk back through the crowd while they subtly intimidate and laugh at you, hence walk of shame.
I was gonna go on Colossus with a friend, but once we got to the end of the queue I pussied out and had to do the theme park walk of shame.
