The "Shadow Step" is a walking technique where one moves completely silent, almost subconsciously, regardless of how fast they're walking. Individuals who exhibit the ability to perform the technique often carry similar traits such as loneliness, introverted life styles, or feelings of disassociation/indifference towards their life. The "Step" cannot be taught or learned conventionally, however the most consistent method of acquisition is through meeting two conditions, the first being an acceptance of lack of self worth or feelings of non belonging in individuals, almost seeing ones self as a ghost in their own life and the second condition being to hold an approximated weight of less than 180 lbs or 81 kg. Increases in confidence in individuals possessing the Shadow Step, will result in a gradual loss in consistency of the technique overtime and one will notice foot steps become heavier as confidence grows.

Person B: "I get that a lot unfortunately, its called the Shadow Step"

Get the Shadow Step mug.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.

Get the Shadow Skins mug."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).
