Cringe™ can be used in many various situations like, a grown man being awkward or a little kid doing something inappropriate. There are many other phrases, for example: cringeworthy (something is being worthy of being cringed at)

Commonly used in comment sections of posts on Instagram. The word "Cringe" is mostly used by sad pathetic little boys who take one look at an Instagram reel and think they get some kind of validation by commenting "cringe" with their pathetic little fingers, on their pathetic little keyboard.
