screen shame

To shame someone for using a smartphone in a social situation where it is rude to do so.

There was a lovely spread on the table and the host of the dinner party was offering a toast when Jim's phone beeped and he removed it from his pocket to respond to a text message. Alice screen shamed him, by castigated him audibly.

spend shaming

When others shame how much you spend on an item or perhaps eating out at restaurants or how much money you blow.

*Renee* - Did you see how much time Jennifer spends going to Louis Vuitton and buying these expensive things?!?

*Erica* - Such a waste of money, she should be saving it to buy a house or donating it to charity.

*Bianca* - Gee Renee & Erica, you both are Spend shaming poor Jennifer and it is her hard earned money to do with as she pleases.

Shameful bias

When the Editors of Urban Dictionary quickly publish a word (binders of women) that makes Mitt Romney look unfavorable but choose not to publish one that President Obama actually said. (not optimal)

Urban Dictionary would not publish my word because it made a democrat look bad but published a word that made a republican look bad just two earlier. What Shameful Bias

spell-shame

To make someone feel worthless because their lack of education or I-don't-give-a-fuckedness is contributing to the world becoming a bunch of illiterate bastards.

Dude 1: "Jake, what have you done you moron? I didn't say I resigned from the team - I said I RE-SIGNED. Now I'm out of work! I should never let you type up my contracts."
Dude 2: "Hey man, don't spell-shame me just because I come from the wrong side of the trucks."
Dude 1: "And that's another thing - STOP SLEEPING UNDER MY BACK WHEELS!"

data shaming

When someone is ridiculed for taking up an unnecessarily large portion of a shared data plan — ex. a phone family plan, a shared file system at work, etc.

Bridget was subject to data shaming at work after our boss realized she had been hoarding 9 GB of high-resolution photos in her inbox.
