Indeed, both are accepting variants; the question of which to use is really one of usage. Chicago Manual of Style, for example, dictates that the first spelling used in Merriam-Webster should be used (I.e. cringey). But of course other style manuals may think differently; it’s just preference.

"Cringy" and "cringey" are both adjectives that can be used interchangeably (they're just different spellings). As adjectives, they modify nouns: "What he said was so cringy/cringey." - "Cringy/cringey" modifies the noun phrase "what he said." "Cringy/cringey" comes from the adjective "cringeworthy," which you'll also hear sometimes.

Do I reference an experience like slipping in the mud?? But then again not everyone would have been there for the incidence. Any help would be appriciated, thank you!!!

Same goes for romantic songs , which is why I always try to get the meaning of it except for conveying romance . Instagram reels where Boys lifting up weights just to impress women , romantic love songs make me cringe so hard. But why this is happening ...
