Walk of Shame  

The walk from another person(s) house, apartment, condo, dorm, van, bar, park bench or other; to your place of residence wearing the same clothes you had on the night before.

Typically used when someone leaves the home of a sexual escapade (quite possibly with someone you met the night before) in the morning; hair sticking out in all directions, lines on your face, and missing at least one article of clothing.

In the event that your “Walk of Shame” did include sex, you may be wearing your partner’s clothes. If you did not have sex you probably did get into a fight, damaged property, was escorted off someone’s premises, or in someway embarrassed yourself. In any case you will need to check yourself for injuries.
Still half-drunk, I began the walk of shame to my room, and made a futile attempt to recall all that I had done on Friturday.

shuffle shame 

"Shuffle shame" is when your mp3 music player is playing on speakers in shuffle mode, and somebody enters the room at the exact moment the worst song of your collection is being played.
I felt shuffle shame when Tony came to the office today, my iPod was playing Paris Hilton's single as he came in.

drive of shame 

It involves a sprint to your car in his underwear and shirt, surreptitiously trying to put on your bra on at stoplights without attracting attention from neighboring cars, and lurking in your car a block from home so you can know when your roommate leaves for work.
I texted my friend how I performed a drive of shame and it ended up on TFLN.

The Wash of Shame 

The wash of shame refers to a situation in which a person must repeatedly wash and scrub their face, hands, fingers, genitals or any other body part or oriface used during sexual activity with someone that is dirty, nasty, unkept and just has raunchy smelling privates. The smell may be filthy body odor, smegma, or caused by infection. The wash of shame often occurs the morning after a night out at a bar, nightclub, or party. People undertaking the wash of shame have spent time with a sexual partner on a one-night stand, an office party fling, a parking lot quickie, a hotel romp or other sexual activity that rendered one or more body parts reeking of rancid odor akin to ground fish with onions, sour sausage with ripe cheese or just plain sour ass. The wash of shame is most noted by the fact that it often takes multiple washes and scrubs to minimize and reduce the presence of the stank and causes repeated feelings of remorse and regret.
Justin hung out wth his co-worker Jane after the office holiday party. After drinking more at a local bar, they went to Justin's car where he gave her a quick finger bang. The smell of dirty hot ass filled the car along with the sound of stirring mac n cheese as he fingered her love box. Justin spent the rest of the night at home doing the wash of shame. It took a gallon of bleach to clean the smell from his fingers and the feelings of regret caused pre-Monday return to work anxiety.
