رسوایی قضایی
embarrassment: A source or cause of being embarrassed, a disgraceful or discreditable action, some event that causes someone to be embarrassed: رسوایی
Example:
The outcome of the vote was an embarrassment for the liberals.
The most common meaning of "judicious" is:
marked by the exercise of good judgment or common sense in practical matters
And some of its synonyms are:
prudent; discreet; rational; wise; skillful; discerning; sagacious; well-advised
However, this complimentary meaning of "judicious" contadicts "embarrassment", which has a negative denotation.
Therefore, we have to turn to the second meaning of "judicious", though it is obsolete. This second meaning is as follows:
of or relating to a court; judicial. [Obs.] قضایی
Example:
His last offenses to us Shall have judicious hearing.

khejalate mostahagh (be hagh)
This is a clever use of the two words together. It implies that the embarrassment is well deserved, not that it is related to a court. See the source http://books.google.com/books?id=6AxqhT2f1lYC&pg=PA128&lpg=P...
