Spanish shame

Have you heard this expression before? I have found it in a forum but it doesn �t say anything about its use. The meaning may be to feel shame for others.

Thanks in advance

I am wondering if that is a British expression? I �ve never heard it before in the US....

I think that what wilwarin32 said should be about the right meaning for us Spanish speakers. "To feel embarrazed for another person �s foolish behaviour".
