A system in any work place where promotion or transfer is prevented by Human Resources or a Manager due to the politically incorrect standing of an employee or due to other factors such as age discrimination). The one being shadow cancelled does not know this is taking place to undermine their professional career.
My boss and director recommended my for promotion, but HR vetoed it-I'm sure it is due to me being shadow cancelled so I can't advance.

An excessive speeding technique, where you "shadow" a speeding vehicle in front of you with about a 15 second gap, to maintain a faster-than-posted illegal speed limit. This allows the speeding vehicle in front the first honor of being clocked by a law official if one is present. Those 15 seconds of "shadow" time gives you the chance to lower your speeds enough to avoid costly speeding tickets. It should be used in combination with a laser/radar detector. Shadow speeding is not recommended during daylight hours on roads where law officials use air patrol to monitor speeds.
"It's a good thing I was shadow speeding, that guy speeding in front just got pulled over by the fuzz!"

A type of dance move where you imitate a DJ unironically. You feel the music deeply and you let the knees and hips go crazy.
It’s essentially the dance version of shadow boxing - replace the boxer with a DJ.

Person 1: Fuck! That’s a killer dance move, never seen it done so naturally - what’s it called?
Person 2: Just the Shadow DJ mate, my mum named it.

A friend who follows you around whilst shopping, potentially because they have no sense of personal style or space. Highly annoying. When you ask their opinion they will often say what they think you want to hear, rather than their genuine belief, lest it be 'wrong'.
