Gringe refers to the feeling of intense secondhand embarrassment or discomfort caused by someone else’s actions or behavior. It is often used to describe situations where one feels extremely uncomfortable or embarrassed on behalf of someone else.
Examples:
1. Watching that video of the talent show performance was so gringe. The singer was completely off-key and forgot the lyrics, and I couldn’t help but cringe at the awkwardness.
2. I had to leave the room when my friend started telling cheesy jokes during the party. The silence that followed was unbearable and made me gringe.
