When you cringe while watching people embarrassing/publicly humiliating themselves, especially when they DON'T deserve it. People who suffer from this are generally empaths, or they may suffer from severe social anxiety.
"I tried to tell my friends that Dave couldn't dance, but they forced him to anyway. I got second-hand embarrassment in the worst way while watching him. By the time I pulled him out, his face was the deepest shade of red imaginable, and it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that he was trying not to cry from embarrassment. We haven't been on speaking terms with those "friends" since that incident."
Moral of the story: Don't force people to do things they're not comfortable with, especially under protest. It may be funny to you, but you've gotta think of other people.

Get the handcuffin mug.basically, it's a phrase used as an interjection when the radio station or club DJ is playing some trash. The phrase is used frequently by Morrisey on the 1986 Smiths hit "Panic" where he exhorts that the disco be burned down and the "blessed DJ" by hung up "because the music that they constantly play / it says nothing to me about my life". Considering that's true today, it ain't such a bad idea at all.
