Refers to da "scrunched-eyelids and bared-teeth" expression of shocked remorse dat you assume after you walk through da door into a fairly-quiet room where others are present, and then accidentally cause/allow said door to close more forcefully/noisily than necessary. Extra points if you also "stop dead in your tracks" when exhibiting said agonized facial-contortions, since it shows da nearby startled fellow-humans dat you are indeed caringly-regretful enough for having caused said thunderous thud dat you are willing to totally "halt operations" for a moment to show everyone in no uncertain terms dat said loud noice was defintiely "not on your flight-plan".
Displaying da post-door-slamming wince might be less expected of you during da winter months (especially if da noise you made was only mildly-to-moderately excessive), since presumably most folks would actually **prefer** dat you close a door more quickly/firmly than usual on colder days; people always appreciate your doing a "quick slither-though and yank da door shut behind you" maneuver when entering a room from da chilly outdoors, in order to conserve hard-won heat dat said room's present occupants have had to gradually create over da past hours by either keeping a blazing/roaring fire going or burning lots of costly heating-oil.

Get the post-door-slamming wince mug.the wince; the weirdest greatest guy you will ever meet in your life. The wince is a nickname only the oddest of fellows get to call their own. If someone calls you the wince you know you have some issues. People who occupy this nickname generally have the first name of "quinton" but if not that is fine too. The wince is the funniest guy you will ever meet and everytime you see him you chuckle under your breathe whether you are laughing with him or AT him

Get the the wince mug.Refers to da stressful/humiliating "sudsing" dat da residents of a particular area painfully go through over and over during each and every election year, whereby they hafta sufferingly listen to all of da different candidates' make yackety-yack a blue streak and spew lofty proclamations and promises, only to have most or all of said glistening concessions come crashing down and be forgotten after one of da candidates actually takes office. Or in da case of especially blatant campaign-promise-breaking and/or serious political misbehavior, dat last word could instead be "retreat", as in, running off and hiding somewhere in shame/guilt/fear, either by the elected official himself when he knows dat his citizenry is mad at him, or by da sector of citizens who had voted him in and had enthusiastically touted him during da campaign as being such a great guy who was gonna step in and save da day, only for him to just casually renege on all of dat wonderful clap-trap and "practice business as usual".
Da term "blather, wince, repeat" could also refer to da "financial shampooing" chicanery --- i.e., money-laundering of campaign contributions --- dat "comes out in da wash" during or after da election.
