shame spiral

A shame spiral characterizes the loss of self-control over something that makes one feel worthless and pathetic. Due to these feelings of low self-worth and guilt, the action that triggered the shame spiral is repeated and the degradation of one's self continues. It is a cycle that repeats itself, bringing one down further as it repeats. Example triggers for shame spirals could be excesses of junk food, alcohol, meaningless sex, buying unnecessary gifts for oneself and the like.
Out-of-shape Bob: "I had McDonalds for lunch today and now I am ordering myself a pizza. I am on a serious shame spiral. I hate myself. Ugh."

Shopalholic Sue: "My rent check yesterday bounced but today there was this cute pair of shoes on sale and I had to buy them. How do I get out of this shame spiral?"

theme park walk of shame

This is when you get in line for a ride at a theme park, yet towards the end of the queue your nerves take over, and you decide against it. Then you have to walk back through the crowd while they subtly intimidate and laugh at you, hence walk of shame.
I was gonna go on Colossus with a friend, but once we got to the end of the queue I pussied out and had to do the theme park walk of shame.

Shameless Flirt

A shameless flirt is someone who will flirt with anyone. They do not even necessarily need to be attracted to them. These types of people flirt constantly, it is their default setting. When they are flirting with you, you know it. There is no question about it. Don't feel too special though, shameless flirts do it because it is fun and comes naturally to them, not because they particularly like the person.
Jordan: That girl was flirting with me, I think she likes me.

Matt: Nah, she is such a shameless flirt. Don't feel too special.
