An "adoption" in chess is when one player beats another 10 in a row in the same time control, with no draws.
An adoption occurred on Chess Grandmaster Eric Hansen's twitch stream when he was challenged by Grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura and proceeded to lose ten games in a row to Hikaru.

What I am. Something that not only happens to a person but plays a major part in shaping who they are, what they do and how they treat others. It's no ones fault. Understand, Deal and Move On. You'll only burn if you can't get past it.
You're Adopted. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
You still want me right?
Of course

A term usually seen on furry art sites such as DeviantART, Inkbunny, etc. An adoptable is a custom-made cartoon/furry character, specificly made to be sold to someone who is unoriginal and/or too lazy to make their own unique character. Adoptables are usually auctioned off and end up going for ridiculous amounts, even surpassing $200 at times.
Artist: Adoptable for auction! She is an adorable husky with a big love for cookies!

Guy 1: I bid $10!
Guy 2: NO! I get to have her! $20!
Guy 1: $30!
Guy 2: $100!! No, $200!!!
Guy 1: Chill, dude. You can have her, jeez.
