Sinverguenza Timeline: The Evolution of Shamelessness

Here and now we begin what is the most vital exploration in human history. We set sail like valiant crusaders. (Cue foreboding mist) We begin our daring expedition, one that takes us to the dark side (and back…we hope). From simple pendejadas to cutting-edge risk-taking and even the downright dastardly, we’ll examine the people, places, events, and behaviors that have discarded and sidestepped enough shame to earn the title of sinvergüenza. First, let’s begin with a historical jog past a few notable sinverguenzas, since then you can better spot one when you see one – and then you should quickly run in the other direction, avoiding eye contact along the way.

Latinos coined the word “sinverguenza,” so let’s begin there – with a people blessed with a distinguished and dignified heritage, a rich history that will be roundly ignored below.
Lazy Nomads Say “No Mas” (9000-7000 BCE — ish)

Tired of all the walking already, a Neolithic nomad simply sat on a tree stump after a particularly hairy encounter with a mountain lion and said, “Fuck that bullshit. That’s it. I’m not moving. I’m not moving another fucking step.” And that was that with all the roving. Now his sinverguenza descendants repeat these exact words when the remote control seemingly taunts them from all the way across the room.

Origin of Latino Tardiness (L.T.L. – Latino Time Lag) – (1492ish)

European explorers arrive and lovingly hand out disease-ridden blankets and handshakes (among other things). While the more punctual indigenous peoples may have teased their buddies stuck at the end of the receiving line or the doubtful others who were off brooding suspiciously, guess who had the last laugh? The Latinos who result from the subsequent commingling of the European and the surviving indigenous peoples logically inherited a healthy intrinsic fear of being on time to anything and then passed it down to subsequent generations. As a result, even today, many Latinos are hard-pressed to arrive on time because who knows what’s in that Appletini…Now we’re late to christenings, quinceaneras, funerals, and, to the chagrin of many employers, work.
Fool us once, shame on you. Fool us twice, we don’t think so. We’ll wait in the car, just in case.
