The French articulation intends to raise a fragile subject with no delicacy by any means, or to talk about a theme that every other person is evading. This is most likely not humiliating to the speaker, who simply needs to discuss that subject (regardless of whether that implies accidentally humiliating every other person in the room). The English articulation, be that as it may, certainly suggests shame with respect to the speaker, since it implies that youve simply dedicated a social bumble by saying simply regarding anything you shouldnt have, potentially about something that is-was-a mystery, (for example, the individual youre conversing with getting terminated, or you thinking about someones extra-conjugal undertaking).
