Cringe in my boots 

The uneasy feeling of being called mommy

When someone calls you mommy:
“I give you permission”
“Thank you mommy”
“You made me cringe in my boots”

Cringe Culture is Dead

a thought terminating cliché/mantra that annoying idiots use as an excuse to be annoying.

the reason people are against "cringe culture" is not because it "bullies" people, but because they identify with the things that are noted "cringe".

Person 1: "Errrrrm XD LAWLZ im so RANDUHHHHMMMM lIEk Fore Chan heheheheheeheheheheeee!"
Person 2: "ew cringe"
Person 1: "Erm, Sweaty, cringe culture is dead! LET PEOPLE HECKING ENJOY THINGS!"

Cringe bait 

Deliberately doing something considerably cringe to gain views, likes, or in general attention on social media OR in real life, making someone cringe. So exactly like rage bait, but with cringe.

"You really fell for it dude? He was just cringe baiting you with the maid outfit."

cringe-whipped

when an unpaid and unemployed person
uses flattery or the doing of favors in order to have a roof over their head and get their drugs, car insurance, registration, storage units, and other expenses paid. this is a form of demeaning servitude which, when witnessed by a third party, causes the third party to feel extreme discomfort and/or annoyance. clinical testing has shown that observing the cringe-whipped person in action can cause uncontrollable projectile vomiting of the internal organs as well as uncontrollable diarreah consisting of liquified internal organs

mitchell is so cringe-whipped by anne marie that he won't do anything without permission from the transgender she-ape boyfriend with huge manhands.

cringe memory 

The phenomenon where we're ironically better in remembering embarrassing moments*

*compared to the moments when we've done all the things we should do

I was trying to recall my achievements, but all I could think about were the cringe memory, like the time I tripped in front of my crush during the school assembly.

jump cringe 

Like a jump scare, except cringeworthy instead of scary.

When you think something (e.g. a movie or tv show) is alright until you get hit by a sudden, unexpected wave of cringe.

Also known as jumpcringe.

I was watching "The Mitchells vs. the Machines" yesterday and just when I thought the movie was getting better, they hit me with a jump cringe. Those unfunny jokes ruin the moment and give me secondhand embarrassment.
