When something starts our really good but then ends up being really shitty and cringey. Like the movie Dark Shadows.

Shadowing

Manipulation of the algorithm of Tiktok by a group, to catch the attention of a popular content creator and forcing other comments to the bottom (into the shadows). This is accomplished by having all group members use the same emblem or avatar and liking each other comments to trick the algorithm into placing these "popular" comments ahead of others. Specific emoticons are also used in the same formation in the comments to increase visibility. The contents of the comments are usually irrelevant, but the number of comments will push out all non-group members and create the illusion that all the fans of that content creator are from that group.
We are going to be shadowing all his Tiktoks and his lives from now on.

Shadow fucking

It’s just like shadow boxing but with fucking. It’s a means to train for sexual intercourse by
committing sexual acts towards air.
I was shadow fucking in my room this morning to train for tonight.

The last shadow puppets

well, in 2008 it was a nice little band between miles kane and alex turner. in 2016, it was an excuse for two men to cheat on their girlfriends in front of thousands of people (they make really good music too though).
2008 (yes, the year itself is speaking): The last shadow puppets is a great band between two best friends, I dont know what you are talking about!
2016: They did some drunken kareoke and then commited various homoerotic acts. Alex turner even got a boner after shoving Miles' leg between his thighs!

Shadow IT

"Shadow IT" is technical jargon describing any services, applications, media, devices, or infrastructure that are not explicitly approved and managed by an organization's IT department.

"Shadow IT" does not have a positive or negative connotation associated with it, instead it has both Pros and Cons (discussed below), and modern IT organizations seek to adopt a culture of discovering, and managing their existing Shadow IT; and in some cases to promote it (so as to foster innovation and citizen development, while easing discovery, which can help to get ahead of security and compliance concerns).

Pros:

- Shadow IT Systems are an important source of innovation.

- Shadow IT Systems may become prototypes for future Central IT solutions.

- Shadow IT Solutions may be boosting internal productivity.

Cons:

- Undiscovered Shadow IT can lead to serious security risks to your organization through data leaks, and more.

- Undiscovered Shadow IT can lead to compliance violations.

- Undiscovered Shadow IT can lead to knowledge silos.

Examples of Shadow IT:

- The File Server under Bob's desk.

- That Web Service running out of Susan's personal Azure subscription.

- The hundreds of Excel Spreadsheets and Macros that the accounting department uses to get around the shortcomings in their ERP system.

- Using other non-sanctioned cloud apps to store and transmit data (i.e. Evernote and Dropbox).
According to a McAfee study, Shadow IT cloud utilization is at least 10 times larger than known cloud usage.
