Criminal Embarrassment

Committing an act that not only makes you look like a total douche bag, but may actually be a crime against humanity.
Dude 1: "Dude, did you see that 2001 CIA video finally released in 2010, where the CIA contributed to the death of innocent Americans, by suggesting the Peruvian Air Force intercept a small plane with American Missionaries inside?"

Dude 2: "Dude, that was the living definition of Criminal Embarrassment. I can't believe that a CIA liaison for a Spanish speaking country, in the War on Drugs, could only speak broken Spanish. The Peruvian liaison could speak better broken English."

Dude 1: Yeah, I'd say that was the most criminally embarrassing thing I've seen, if it weren't for the actual War on Drugs being 30 years of innocent lives ruined in foreign and domestic actions, when the USA can't even properly fund Honest Drug and Alcohol Education, and Effective Drug and Alcohol Treatment to stem the world's highest demand for Drugs.

Dude 2: You're right, the War on Drugs, as a whole, is the ultimate Criminal Embarrassment. When do you think the USA will learn that prohibition doesn't work?

Dude 1: I hope soon, because I'm tired of Trillions of Dollars of my tax dollars being used to fund a senseless war, when instead they could regulate AND bring in Billions of Dollars in tax revenue, and properly fund Drug and Alcohol Education and Treatment.

Dude 2: TOTALLY!

Third Hand Embarrassment

When you get embarrassed or cringe at something you did that you thought was cool in the past.
Third hand embarrassment is when you realize that your past is cringy.

Person 1: *remembers that they used to make gacha vids and thought they were cool at the time*

Person 1: “EW, that’s cringy and embarrassing!”

The profound shame associated with being swindled out of your life savings by some shit college only to be offered a $40,000/year job after graduation, all while the faggot billionaire class squanders our tax dollars amongst themselves.
What a total and absolute disgrace the American Embarrassment Experience is! They found a way to bring back indentured servitude to America!
