Re^3: Stop Using Perl pt. 2 -- vergüenza ajena

..embarrasing himself

It is arrived the time to make English a better language? In Castellano there is a precious concept: vergüenza ajena
Deutsch altready upgraded with the fremdschämen neologism.

I dont think 'embarassing himself' it's enough: can other's shamefulness rend better the concept?

L*

yes: the shame, disgrace, ignominy, embarrassment, shamefulness, bashfulness, abashment or shamefacedness that you feel for others, when they pose themselves into an embarassing situation, with their words or acts.

Discipulus wants English to have a word that already exists in other languages. The word expresses the feeling of you being ashamed of the behaviour of other people, as opposed to your own.	[reply]
