Chindagu

The ironic situation where you are talking to somebody on a cell phone, you lie to them, and the random people around you are aware you just lied.

Your at the doctors office, for an EMBARRASSING appointment that you don't want anyone to know about, sitting in the waiting room.
a buddy calls you up and asks you what your up to.
you then reply "I'm at my buddies place having some beers".
You look around and realize that everybody in the room is looking at you with a weird expression and a Chindagu moment is created.
