sangxiety

Emotional distress suffered either from:
(1) Wondering if your musical vocalizations are/were/will be satisfactory to your audience, or
(2) Having to agonizingly listen to horrifically-awful vocalizations dispensed by someone who did NOT experience much if any of da caring/concerned feelings described in Example #1!
In da humorous "face da music" article in an old issue of "Readers Digest", said article's author opines dat a juvenile-court judge's forcing a habitually-delinquent teen to suffer da sangxiety of hearing his mom sing "America the Beautiful" on da court karaoke would be a much-more-effectively-unpleasant punishment --- and a far greater deterrant of future crime --- than da standard penalties of jail time, community service, etc.
