When someone is tsunami shamed, their problems, big or small, are shot down immediately on the premise of ''At least you haven't suffered a tsunami''. It's hard to tell whether this is supposed to be comforting or or whether the person is playing the douche on purpose.
Two examples of tsunami shaming:
John: Hey Bob, what's up?
Bob: It's been a rough week. My dog got hit by a car, one of my parents lost their job, and I got a cold just in time for the finals.
John: Yeah, well, at least your house isn't three miles from where it used to be. Toughen up.
Linda: I heard you were moving to an apartment, Jane.
Jane: Yeah, my family's house is getting foreclosed on, we have to be out within a month. The only place I can afford is really small and seedy. I feel more sorry for my kids than myself.
Linda: Stop bitching, a least they'll have a roof over their heads, UNLIKE THE TSUNAMI VICTIMS!!!
John: Hey Bob, what's up?

Jane: Yeah, my family's house is getting foreclosed on, we have to be out within a month. The only place I can afford is really small and seedy. I feel more sorry for my kids than myself.

Get the Tsunami Shamingmug. An unfortunate phenomenon in which people degrade or mock a person because he or she perspires more than most people in response to heat and humidity.

Get the Tech shamemug. Making someone feel embarrassed for their snacking habits. Putting someone down for their desire to continuously eat snacks. Making fun of the quantity someone eats between meals.
Casey felt like Tali was snack shaming her when Tali called her out for pulling pretzels out of her bag after she had just eaten a sandwich.

Sally: It wasn't even funny...I noticed it got the like of shame.
