"Spineless Shameless 'something"

I've heard some people abuse others saying you "Spineless Shameless 'something'". I was wandering about this contradiction for quite a long time now. So just thought of writing about it.

How can one become Shameless and Spineless at the same time?
Let's break this up and analyze.

What is being Shameless? According to what I believe, 'Shameless' is the word which describes someone who does stuff which conflicts with the common beliefs and standards of the society. I don't think I should give examples, coz they are all around you. You might also be 'Shameless' in some aspects. But it is always relative. Living with many groups of people who grew  up in different societies, we often experience different thresholds of 'Shameless'ness. When someone is said to be 'Shameless'  that means he/she has done something which exceeds the threshold.

What is being 'Spineless'? I think this means that a person has no inherent power to act bravely. That means he/she always move in the safe zone. He/She never leaves the safe zone and try something different. So obviously he/she will never try to do something which exceeds the threshold of 'Spineless'ness.

So if someone is Spineless, that someone is not Shameless and vice versa...

lol...

Thanks for reading,
Best regards.
