red shilled

Red shilled people are the tinfoil hats of the current generation.
The original meaning (red pilled) has its origins in The Matrix (Movie, 1999).
They don't listen to official sources (e.g. Media) but frequent forums that advertise consipracy theories and spread fear mongering (e.g. Alex Jones/ /pol/).
Since 'red pill' refers to the ultimate truth and nothing but the truth, red shilled users easily associate with posts/articles that claim to be red pilled or are advertised this way.
The irony is, that red shilled people suspect the media to be brainwashing them while in fact they are letting themselves be brainwashed by people that in a lot of cases just want to see the world burn (e.g. 4chan).
The red pill meme is also often used by Alt Right groups in order to distribute false or misleading information.
Phrases that might be used by a red shill:
'Women allow refugees to openly exploit our countries'
'Feminism is the cancer of the modern society'
'The cloud people are behind this'
'The government contaminates tap water in order to steralize males'

Example in a sentence:
"Holy fuck you are red shilled beyond recognition, corrupted doesn't even begin to describe it"

King's Shilling

Noun.

Historical definition:

During the Napoleonic wars, due to the lack of able seamen, sailors were recruited (press-ganged) by being paid a sign up fee - 1 King's Shilling.

Reluctant conscripts would be approached by one or more 'recruiters' who would ply them with alcohol until they were totally drunk. They would then hit them over the head with a 'cudgel' and place a King's Shilling in the drunkard's pocket. The inebriate would then be carried on board where they were woken up and convinced that they had joined in good faith. Any argument against the join would be discredited by the discovery of the King's Shilling.

Modern Usage

Discreet gay proposition.
Historical Usage

"I don't know what happened! I was approached by two sailors who got me pissed. Next thing I know I woke up 'in the navy' having received a King's Shilling into my pocket!"

Modern Usage:

"Hello young man, will you let me pay you into the Navy with a King's Shilling?"

OR

"I was only 21 when I received the King's Shilling!"

OR

"I've been approached but am yet to accept the King's Shilling!"
