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”

cringegift

A weak gesture or gift, intended to gain favor with the recipient(s), but actually has the opposite effect.

After working at the company for 25 years they cringegifted me a pre-printed "Thank You" card. WTF?
He showed up to the potluck with a cringegift of McDonalds ketchup packets.
My co-worker actually expects me to spend eight hours packing his stuff for a cringegift of free pizza.

Cringeometer

A tool to measure how cringe something is on a scale from 1-100. Parents are often cringe but it is very difficult for them to know EXACTLY how cringe they actually are. This is a good way to tell them how much. All parents are cringe, but some parents are even more cringe than others.

How many percent cringe are your parents? Measure it in the Cringeometer! 1 % cringe is still CRINGE! That is like being 100% CRINGE!

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."
