Crapology: the study of anything that does not reach a high standard as set by the majority of stake holders. Subject is generally a singular object or noun that many people submit evidence on to be reviewed by a group. An example might be crap photos of birds. Criteria to be met may include blurred images, poor placement of the subject, poor distance.
Any object may become the subject of a study in its crappiness. The only criteria is that people must volunteer to judge the object objectively without feeling and bias.
Cringology revolves around the concept of intellectually superior individuals having to deal with stupid/ignorant people. The amount of ignorance and stupidity is often so great, that the intellectual is overcome with mixed head-exploding emotions that can only be expressed with a cringe (that may also manifest in uttering the words "cringology").
Example 1:
D: "Stupid people rule the world!"
I: "Yeah... Cringology."
Example 2:
Boss: "Hey, you're Japanese! Can you do a story on this really big Japanese pop singer?"
Journalist: "Actually, I'm Chinese - but who's the singer?"
Boss: "Oh, some guy called Rain."
Journalist: "Um... Rain's Korean."
Boss: "What's the difference?"
Journalist: "Urgh... Cringology..."
