They got walk of shame wrong. That is when you've either self upgraded and been caught or your upgrade has been revoked and you're sent back to coach.

I used the term coach because the walk of shame in this instance is generally a US issue.

Yes, it can have several meanings but not so much that one on Oz(perhaps it does not wash in our pseudo egalitarian society).

WAS can be a de-selfupgraded or the PAX who by boarding late has caused a delayed departure (this is not the same as boarding last and picking the best remaining seat ;) ).

My mother is a regular late-boarder, no matter what time she gets to the airport. I think she has a note appended to her file from more than one airline

Ha! My last domestic flight I was sitting there thinking, recline or don't recline... what if JohnK is sitting behind me!

One of the myriad benefits of being an active member on AFF is that I have met JohnK several times and in different countries so I know when not to recline. :)
 
JohnK would probably always be in front of any of us!
 
I must be out of the loop. No idea about at least 50% of these.
