A booming industrial and financial city in southern China, close to Guangzhou and Hong Kong. Was a sleepy fishing village at the turn of last century, and is now home to around 4,000,000 people. Known for its tremendous growth as a Special Economic Zone and for skyscrapers that are even gaudier than Hong Kong's.
Man, that new office tower that they're building in Midtown is TOTALLY Shenzhen.

A city in this seemingly strange place called China that is growing far faster than your economy.

Shitty chinese engineering. Use it when talking about those badly made fake electronics made in China.

Named after a city in China, called Shenzhen, known for producing electronics (both good and bad).
Example: Look at the shenzheneering on this thing, it looks just about ready to fall apart.

A Shenzhen Special is any cheap, Chinese electrical gadget designed to 'emulate' the expensive, brand-name original.

However, being cheap and poorly made, the device will either have limited functionality compared to the original, or will fail to work after a short time. But you get what you pay for.

The name is derived from the city in China where most of this sort of crap is made.
"Nah, it's not a real iPhone, it's just a Shenzhen Special. I only paid $30 for it though."

"Can it make calls?"

"Er, no"

"And now it's on fire..."

A Shenzhen Showbag is a bag full of Shenzhen Specials.

Various 'Deal a Day' web sites around the world will offer a 'Bag of Crap' or a 'Bag of Pooki' every now and then, which is basically stuff they had left in the warehouse and need to shift to make way for more Shenzhen Specials.

Typically you'll pay $30 for a Shenzhen Showbag which probably has a real value of maybe $5.

"Whadya get in ya Shenzhen Showbag?"

"Um, a USB hub, a USB vibrator and a USB "How to USB' guide-book on USB."

"Whadya gonna do with it all?"

"Give it to you for Xmas.."

AKA school of volleyball, electronics, gaming, texting, yogurt x anything ice-cream, and procrastination.
For 4g users: The school is just as good as its toilets, or its filled up swimming pool:)
*HAZARD ALERT*
THIS SCHOOL CONTAINS SOME DEGREE OF:
-Slavery (forced labor for a week every year and so on).
-Idiots who know nothing other than, and somehow proud of the international bullshit they were told to produce.
-Unpaid labor for writing *rainbow farting* articles contributing to United Nations.
-Time consumption (famous example: m*p/*p hour)
-Famine due to toxic food.
-Weapons: "Good" values that are vague to the extent that they can be used to defend *almost anything*.
*BEWARE!*
Your friends:

"You go to isns? Isn't it that terrori-"
"Oh nvm, just a letter apart confused me for a sec, sry."
You:
"YYYYYEEEEEESSSSSS RRRUUUUNNNNN!!!!!!!"
