The rapid cover-up that ensues when a couple engaging in sexual acts is about to be happened upon by an outsider. The cover-up is erratic and poorly executed by the shamed couple, resulting in an awkward shuffle.
I went to call my brother and his girlfriend for dinner and I could hear them doing the shame shuffle as I knocked on the door.

Get the Shame McCoymug. 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.

Get the Shame Loadmug. A kind of en-masse guilt trip spread by newspapers and other media. Has its roots in archaic beliefs/notions of deference and paternalism that go a long way to fortifying nationalist sentiments and spreading xenaphobia. You only feel national shame if you swallow that sort of bullshit.

Get the National Shamemug. Trigger-shaming (verb):
1. An act of deliberate humiliation or degradation inflicted on a triggered person (or non-person) after their attempt to create a safe space through positive expression.
2. A tactic of embarrassment by those who disagree with one's right to be triggered. Most often used by individuals who are themselves triggered, but hide behind bullying to belong to the heteronormo-nativty scene and submit to societal pressures.
