A store purposely built next to or in close proximity of another one selling the same or similar products. In doing so, the new store owner plans to avenge prior mistreatment in the other store by taking its customers.

Spite liking (verb): Liking another's Facebook status motivated by facetious ness or jealousy. More subtle than disparaging comments, the spite like is meant to unnerve or irritate the original poster.

The U.S. Congress was taken over by teahadist Republicans. These people who, for whatever reason, are opposed to anything proposed by President Obama. Even though the tea party is only a small, but growing, part of the Republican Party, they seem to hold the House under their control. The "spite" refers to this delusional minority holding the government hostage as they stubbornly try to get their way. This spite lead to the now infamous tea party downgrade and the equally infamous tea party shutdown These teatards would rather destroy our economy and credit rating out of spite than compromise with Democrats.
The tea party damaged America's credit rating out of spite and their opposition to reason and the tradition of compromise. The Republicans' Spite House is a big problem for Obama, the Congressional Democrats and all Americans!

Spite shipping is the supporting of a ship to divert a character from interfering with your OTP (one true pairing).
For example, fans of the IchiHime pairing in Bleach often support the RenRuki pairing for that reason alone. If Rukia dates Renji she can't date Ichigo. Hence Rukia can't pose a threat to the IchiHime ship (Ichigo X Orihime).
This kind of shipping is totally nonsensical, since it often ignores what actually happens in a story. And an author is really not going to change his/her mind just because of some delusional fangirls.

IchiHime fan: I really want Rukia and Renji together!
Normal fan: But the guy kidnapped Rukia, and she hasn't even shown any sign afterwards of being romantically interested in the him at all.
IchiHime fan: As a shinigami Rukia should only date dead people. And Ichigo should only date people who are alive!
Normal fan: Aren't you forgetting that Ichigo is a shinigami and that his soul chain has been severed by Urahara? And aren't you forgetting that his father is a shinigami as well?
IchiHim fan: Stop being so mean.
Normal fan: Huh? I'm just asking some genuine questions. But if you can't give me a valid reason based on the manga why RenRuki is going to be a canon pairing, I have to assume you're spite shipping.
