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.

run of shame

the "run of shame" comes from the walk of shame but means something quite diffrent.

the run of shame is where the shame is so apparrent the solition entails running. this can happen in a number of diffrent ways. foot ball is a good example
You are innocently walking through the park and a nearby game a football is in motion and the ball flies in your general direction. You have a choice.

a. ignore the ball

b. kick the ball back trying to look as talented as possible

c. try and stop the ball and carefully pass it back trying not to look to silly.

You choose option b, you attempt to smash the ball as hard as one can to reach the football game eagerly awaiting the return of there ball. you fail you miss hit the ball spectacularly falling over and the ball goes even future away from the football game, you possibly break or deflate the ball in the process, lose the ball, or simply look bad at football in front of lots of people. The shame caused by this is over whelming the only thing appropriate is to run hard after the miss hit ball and pray you don’t make the same mistake again. “The run of shame”

Example 2. You run, you shoot at goal, you miss and it goes miles past the keeper, without stopping you continue to retrieve the epic fail of a shot, hopefully getting the ball back will redeem the fail. This is the "run of shame"

Example 3 you kick the ball over an impassable obstacle (fence, lake, country border), before anyone can get cross with you for ruing the game you commence the “run of shame” knowing full well there is no getting the ball back.
