I did not think of it in those terms but you are right cringe and word chewing represent an ultra-extrapolation of Dasein into the absurd. Incidentally my grandmother met Heidegger on the kneipe stairs in Freiburg, that is not a euphemism. At least I hope its not.
Cringe is just the presentation of the mundane as exceptional and saying that observation is mean is just a way to cling to it for a little longer.
Get a load of Heidegger over here.
