Nowadays, we tend to embarrass one another (and ourselves) by pretty much sticking to the basics: making fun of our friends when they blunder, accidentally revealing secrets in public, confessing our undying love to people who don't even know we exist, and all the millions of creative and frustrating ways we have of making mistakes. All forms of 'embarrass' will appear on average once every 175 pages. disembarrassment disembarrass embarrass embarrassed embarrassing embarrassment unembarrassed embarrassingly |
