When someone ghosts out of shame, usually temporary.
This happens after doing something they swore they wouldn't do, or that they feel guilty about having done.
Can be used among good friends, because friends don't usually permanently ghost, but they do ghost temporarily out of shame.

When you fart in class but your crush is sitting next to you, so to save yourself from death by embarrassment, you look over at that one crazy popular person, pinch your nose, and yell "EWWW. YOU NERD. YOU SMELL LIKE MY GRANDMA. SHE'S DEAD."

The duplicitous posting of images and information intended not to honestly share but to troll for negative commenters in order to attack them.
She deliberately went shame phishing online by posting less than flattering pics of herself and waiting until the inevitable negative comments trickled in, and then boy did she really launch into attacking them back!

SJW term for shaming people who don't practice social distancing and congregate in large groups irresponsibly, such as when there is a widespread global pandemic and all levels of government are asking people to not gather in large groups unnecessarily
After I posted pictures of the huge parties I went to on spring break during the COVID-19 pandemic, there were so many people distance shaming me.

(Verb). Waking up on a Sunday and going from app to app to see the texts, Snapchats, etc you sent while drunk. If your poor thumb could talk it would ask to be amputated after the level 3 trauma it just endured.
This morning the scroll of shame was so rough, i ordered a flip phone for next weekend and am only putting 911 and dominos in the contacts.
