When you're mad at someone, but not quite enough to put them on your shitlist.

Man, Tony was supposed to help me move today and he was 45 minutes late. I guess it's better than not showing up at all, but he's still on my shartlist.

shortlisted (v) — a term used to try to convince unwitting job applicants they're not being duped into subservient working conditions.

Congratulations! You have been shortlisted as a finalist for our job opening. We don't give a shit about anything except increasing our bottom line and think a superficial step in the interview process will make you more invested in our substandard offer. We'll gauge how likely you are to accept the position based on your enthusiasm. If you sound very eager, we may even lower the salary we planned to offer you!
