The attitude of the Scots when they live in England. Once over the border, the Scots become infected with a form of virus. This virus is the Scottish Cringe. Symptoms: Severe paranoia and feelings of inadequacy and extremely low self esteem manifesting in outward displays of extreme bragging and general obnoxiousness towards the English. Root cause natural inadequacy and lack of a notable home win since 1314. Only remedy for this - do not let Scots over to the English side of the border, alternatively get them repatriates as soon as possible. Once back home in Scotland the symptoms abate to almost bearable levels.
Once relocated from Glasgow to Birmingham, Jock began to exhibit all the symptoms of the "Scottish Cringe". He became ruder and more racist about the English, displaying feelings of intense inferiority and desperately defensive when faced with English achievements: expressing views that would seem to indicate he hoped that England would sink beneath the waves and certainly NOT rule them.

When you see something so stupid or so cringy, that you have no option but to face-palm and die a little inside.
"Did you see all of those feminists and Donald Trump posts last night?'"
"Yeah, it made me have a cringe attack."

That painfully awkward moment when you are checking your reflection out on a car window, spending ideally over a minute grooming your hair or pouting YET there is someone inside the car directly looking at you confused and worried...you dont realise he or she is in the car so you carrying on checking yourself out.
then you notice them looking at you and you quickly have to run away forgetting everything which happened.

A cringe-salis is when you cringe so hard at something that you curl into a fetal position, almost like a butterfly chrysalis.
