One question, one comment:
Q) Dir ist peinlich = you are embarrassed about something. Du bist voll peinlich (example above) = you are completely embarrassing.
Something like that?
C) In a few of the threads that lead from my search for Peinlich, all the examples are presented twice. For example, this page shows the four examples twice in a row (making 8 examples total). The same is true for the “jemandem peinlich sein” page etc.
Sorry for the late reply. I’m doing a sweep for missed comments, at the moment :)
Q) Yes!
C) Danke :). Fixed!
