Cringe that lasts: getting over embarrassing moments, sentence 6
Turning a cringe into a shared joke takes the sting out, and nicknames usually die down fastest when you shrug instead of exploding; what doesn't help is practising the word a hundred times at midnight or hiding under a hat.
Who acts: Turning, nicknames, you · What happens: turn, share, take out, die down, shrug, explode · To what, where: cringe, shared joke, sting, word, hat
