Your word isn't here yet

Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "DAHR" (as in "dart") + "behr" (as in "bed") + "GEHN" (as in "get") + "sah" (as in "salsa")/

Meaning

To feel deep embarrassment or shame about something you did or something that happened to you. It's that cringing sensation that makes you want to hide and never show your face again.

Examples

I'm so embarrassed about what happened at the party.

Don't you feel ashamed saying that in front of everyone?
