What does 간지럽다 mean?
I know that the basic meaning is "itchy".
But can it mean "embarassing" or something?
I found this dialogue?
가 : 남자들끼리 만났을 때 친구가 왔는데 어,이 옷 멋진데,이런 예기는 해요...
나 : 아우 간지러워요.
가 : 간지러워요? 이런 예기는 안 하잖아요?

It is also used to express somehow awkward feeling in the middle of the conversation by saying "어우.. 낯 간지러워서 더이상 얘기 못 하겠어요."
It might be translated in various way depending on the context.
Expected translation: cringe, feel awkward, feel embarrassed, feel uncomfortable
