4. You Embarrass me.
A quick dictionary lookup would tell you the meaning of embarrassment.
Not every audience is of strength to negatively or positively impact you.
Sample 1
Context: A young lady performed woefully in her University exams (1 course). Some co-students kept on bringing it up and calling her useless. Though not in front of the teachers.
Wrong Statement: The young girl speaks then to her close friend of this embarrassment.
Why is this a Foul Statement: All these co-students of hers are not her parents or guardians. Them having a wrong picture of you would not cut your school fees or your pocket money.
Sample 2
Context: A man saving to buy a car was spoken of repeatedly to be smelling. Since he was always wearing worn out and faded clothes.
Wrong statement: A colleague speaks to the others saying stop embarrassing him.
Why is this a Foul Statement: If the man with savings or his kind colleagues went broke, the other colleagues would not even give him a dime to save them. And they cannot stop his ticket to heaven or him having a child.
