Dessert shame 

Ordering dessert at a restaurant with a group of friends/co-workers, only to recoil in horror as the others all politely decline. The shame reaches new heights once your order arrives and you have to eat it amongst the hawk-like gaze of everyone else at your table.
The dessert shame really kicked in as the rest of the office sat down to watch my brownie- eating performance.

Let's dress up and travel together 

Is technically what people usually do after literally coming out of the closet.
A slang term or euphemism for "dating" originated from the Taiwanese dub of The Owl House, where Amity says "我們盛裝出遊吧!" which translates to "Let's dress up and travel together!"
But can also be used as a term for openly experiencing LGBT culture after coming out of the closet.
Now that i'm out of the closet, and there's a Pride Parade tomorrow, let's dress up and travel together!
I came out a week ago and have been dressed up and traveling ever since.

Mutton Dressed as Lamb 

The term 'mutton dressed as lamb' was first used in the journal of social gossip that Mrs Frances Calvert compiled in 1811, and is possibly attributed to the then Prince of Wales (later George IV). At a musical evening, the Prince was asked whether he did not think some girl pretty. He reputedly answered, “Girl! Girls are not to my taste. I don't like lamb; but mutton dressed like lamb!”

In this case, ‘dressing’ refers to the preparation of food before cooking. The implication in 'dressed as lamb' is that the woman has prepared herself for a romantic encounter. 'Mutton dressed as lamb' was originally a disparaging description of a woman aiming to deceive men into believing she was younger than she really was; back then it was an economic necessity for a woman to marry while still of childbearing age.

Nowadays it refers exclusively to a woman who is deluded and thinks herself attractive in clothes, jewellery and make-up usually worn by those much younger. She’s probably looked in the mirror and thinks herself sex on legs, but she merely proves that eyesight deteriorates with age.
“Look at that stupid old slapper dressed exactly like her daughter! What a sad act!”
“Yeah! Mutton dressed as lamb is about as sexy as a kick in the nuts.”

dress up and travel

A slang term or euphemism for "dating" originated from the Taiwanese dub of The Owl House, where Amity says "我們盛裝出遊吧!" which translates to "Let's dress up and travel together!"

The dub has been ridiculed and memed on so much that it has now become a meme in the Owl House fandom and is spreading to other cartoon fandoms.
Amity: "Let's dress up and travel together!"
Luz: "Noooo.... I was so ready."
Amity: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you can say it."
Luz: "Amity Blight, let's dress up and travel together!"
Amity: "Yes!"
Luz: "Okay!"
