The shame (unjustified) has passed already. It's a colloquialism which no non-native speaker need worry to have missed.

nor in competing for the favor of wayward friends.

This seems vaguely on-topic ..

'A Zen Buddhist goes up to a hot dog seller and says, "Make me one with everything."

(and a slightly longer version ..)

.. 'The seller makes the hot dog, hands it to the Buddhist and says, "That'll be five pounds."
The Buddhist hands the seller a ten pound note, who puts it in the till and shuts the drawer.
The Buddhist says, "Hey, where's my change?", and the seller tells him, "Change must come from within." '

It's what in Romanian is called "an untranslatable pun".

Vaguely on-topic as well.

God is most certainly not omnipotent: He can't make a stone so heavy that He can't lift it.

He should be able to choose on what planet he lifts stones. There are planets out there with gravitation significantly stronger than on Earth. So we end up with fun question: Is the stone he can lift on Earth too heavy for him on Jupiter (2.64 times the gravitation on Earth)? If he has to be able to lift the stone in the strongest gravitational fields in the universe (black holes?) to be able to make it, the stones he can make are very small (infinitely small = non-existent ?)
Spatial distortion is a serious problem deteriorating headphone listening.
Crossfeeders reduce spatial distortion and make the sound more natural
and less tiresome in headphone listening.
