Cringe

A verb. To bend away from something in fear or disgust. Often used incorrectly, in a way that makes people look pathetic, or in a way that makes people look clueless to the actual definition. EX: Calling an innocent drawing of an anthropomorphic cat "cringe."

Filthy Frank Fanboy Friend: This Sans fangirl is so cringe! I'm gonna drink bleach and kill myself!

Triggered Friend: Firstly, cringe is a verb, idiot. Secondly, if you think THIS is "cringe" you're either extremely weak or just clueless of cringe's actual definition. Clearly, you're gonna be having a mental breakdown over the fact pedophilia exists if THIS is makes you feel scared or disgusted. You're just jumping on the cringe bandwagon to seem cool. GET OUT OF 2015 ALREADY.
