Hero shaming

Calling out someone for being a hero for the sake of getting karma points on social media or in the news.

We are planning on hero shaming Jane because she asked that mentally handicapped kid to the prom just so she could let channel five know so they could do a live segment on how amazing she is.

Get the phat shame mug.

To make a disparaging or unflattering statement about an entire country or its people, either due to malice or insensitivity. What's important is the context in which the statement is said and the person's motive for saying it rather than whether it is true or not. A journalist could state that country X is the poorest in the region or has a high level of crime out of an earnest desire to inform the audience, but he/she may also have the desire to tarnish the image of the said country due to their own biases. Other more clear examples of country shaming include referring to countries as "sh*tholes", saying things like "your country doesn't matter" or "nobody ever goes there", and bringing up unflattering statistics about a country to mock someone.

Telling someone their country is poor and insignificant is a form of country shaming.
