How it's used
This phrase is a biting, idiomatic way to call someone shameless or thick-skinned. It functions as a rhetorical attack rather than a literal question about literacy. Using it implies that the person's behavior is so egregious that they have completely lost their moral compass.
Examples
He is always clinging to people, he really has no sense of shame.
