shame tube

A kid friendly slang term for the male genitalia. Roman Catholic in origin, however, it's precise etymology has yet to be discovered. Scholars, to this day, continue to argue over the first musings of the term.

Made popular by writer/comedian Dan Harmon in the opening monologue of the 152nd episode of the Harmontown podcast titled: "White Guilt Kerosene On The White Guilt Bonfire".

"If you push my shame button, the shame tube will empty."

"Father Peter let me dip my shame tube in the communion wine again last night"

Shame Campaign

Using the internet and media (even word-of-mouth) to expose hypocrisy in everyday situations to subversively benefit your own agenda (whether personal or organizational).

The Local Newspaper didn't cover the local music event... so, we used a Shame Campaign via tweets and emails to the larger media saying, "our town and its newspaper don't support the arts." The next week, we had a full page spread.

trauma shaming

When someone who has been affected mentally or psychologically by a trauma, or even a bad upbringing, is criticized for the behavior they display as a result of the trauma, with those criticizing seemingly forgetting, or not knowing the reason behind this behavior. Some may continue to criticize the person with the trauma even when explained the reason, claiming that the trauma doesn't "justify" their behavior. In the case of fictional characters, expect one to call a trauma-stricken character "annoying" for lashing out.

Commenter: "Ugh, just watching Degrassi Junior High right now and Spike is so rude towards Shane! Like why is she like that towards that poor boy?"
Another commenter: "Dude, she literally has an absent father and she got pregnant at 14. Stop trauma shaming.".

pandemic shaming

When someone calls others out for not following social distancing rules during the COVID-19 pandemic, whether in person or on social media.

When I mentioned to Karen that I went out twice this week for groceries, she told me that I should only be going out once a week at most and that I was putting other people in danger by my selfish choices.

Karen was pandemic shaming me...

Walker of Shame

Walk of Shame in a nursing home, where the visitor uses a walker to get back to their own room after hooking up in another resident's room. They may or may not remember if it was a one nighter or not.

Nurse 1: Blanch wasn't in her room this morning.
Nurse 2: last night she was visiting Norman in his room.
Nurse 1: oh- here she comes now, doing the Walker of Shame back to her room.
Nurse 2: look at that smile! Maybe I should sign up for Norm's sponge bath!
