Infra dig (What is beneath you?)

When Amber was in South Africa, she helped "resurface" hut floors (with cow manure)--with her hands!

Even that was not infra dig. It was an honour.

Infra dig: beneath one's sense of dignity or unbecoming.

Now, I have seen some young ladies gentlemen conduct themselves in a manner that I consider infra dig.

I have been guilty of the same. Of course, this new year I am desirous of being a persona grata, not infra dig.
