Keeping it
Real, Stating the obvious, bringing
light to questionable behaviors in a “non-judgmental” or slightly comical way. At times, when necessary, can be used to be condescending. The phrase can be placed where ever the user feels most appropriate “throwing”
shade… in a sentence. This phrase gives the user a “pass” for saying something that may typically be viewed as off-putting/ offensive.
Example1: I was in a meeting with Tommy “
shade but no
shade” his breath was making my stomach hurt…
Example 2: Why did I see Brandon out on Friday “shade but no shade” I think he was with another woman.
Example 3: Shade but no shade, those pants need to retire…
Example 4: Wait, Tammy lost 50
