Know Shaming

''Know Shaming'' is the petty social act of making someone feel smaller or stupid for literally not having known the information someone is telling them. Know shaming can occur in social or academic discourse, but also in interactions around media or celebrity consumption.

A: Have you heard of band XYZ?
B: No I Hav---
A: OMG! How do you not know about them!??!?!? Do you live under a rock?!?!! I knew about them ages ago like before they got popular.... YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO THEM.

A: Did you know..
B: No..
A: What OMG! Do you even read? So basically...
B: This is know shaming. How could I know anything about something before I know it?

Vincent-Shaming

Vincent-Shaming is when you develop a really unhealthy, completely unreasonable crush on someone called Vincent, whom you've only met like four times and thinking about him takes up your whole day everyday and then your mean roommate says you've been stood up by Vincent.

"i really like Vincent" "haha he doesn't text you back and you're a loser and I'm Vincent-Shaming you"

Woo Shaming

The justifiable ridicule of those so ignorant of how the Universe really works, that they subscribe to nonsense such as homeopathy and crystal power.

There are some things that are so patently absurd as to be unworthy of arguing against; those who believe in these things are lost beyond redemption, and the only thing left to do is engage in woo shaming.
