cringe
A word that post-millenial, emotionally stunted children and young teenagers use to react to innocuous but heartfelt displays of affection or desire.
Example:
Mr Rogers: "I like you just the way you are."
Pre-millenial 7-14 year-old internal response: "Thank you, I needed that today."
Post-millenial 7-14 year-old internal response: "Cringe. I'm going to watch Naruto and his psychopathic non-friends commit sadistic acts of violence."
Mr Rogers: "I like you just the way you are."
Pre-millenial 7-14 year-old internal response: "Thank you, I needed that today."
Post-millenial 7-14 year-old internal response: "Cringe. I'm going to watch Naruto and his psychopathic non-friends commit sadistic acts of violence."
