UK here, I'd say cringeworthy is a pretty normal word. Or at least it was before kids dropped the second half of the word.

In my books, without the second half of the word it's a verb, and not an adjective or noun. But maybe I'm just getting old.

It's a verb, adjective or noun. Whatever you want it to be, it's that! A bit of everything at the same time.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
