Pity Shilling

To deflect, knowingly and unknowingly, from the problems one might have with a commercial product/a corporation's unethical behavior by turning it into an overly emotional issue centered around how a high-level executive directly responsible for said problems must have felt.

Originally used on Blizzard Entertainment's Overwatch 2 forums to describe the perspective that the game's director, who misled an entire community by lying about a game feature that was heavily advertised when they knew prior to the game's release it was cancelled, must have felt too ashamed to act otherwise.
A: I feel so bad for the game director, they must have felt too bad to tell us the truth...
B: That's pity shilling- feeling too bad to do the right thing means nothing when not doing it means you are misleading people.

Fluff Shipping

We are all familiar with OTPs and stuff, but there is also a thing called 'fluff shipping'. It happens when you think a couple would be cute, but you don't really put much effort into it, and one of the characters is in an OTP.
"She fluff ships Chuckwena, but her OTP is Romara."

"OMC he loves Destiel, but we were watching season 8 of Supernatural yesterday, and he said that he thought Megstiel was cute. Isn't that fluff shipping?"

shitlings

Little clumps of shit that get caught in the hair around the ass of long haired dogs and cats. It could be used for people, I suppose but if you're getting anything bigger than a dinkleberry, you probably need to trim your ass hair.
"Hey...sniff, sniff...what stinks? Ewwwwwwwww...that cat has shitlings."

shimpling

Using a web site of dubious academic rigour to back up an argument.
I knew Phil was shimpling when he backed up an argument about UFOs with a reference to Art Bell's site.

Shitling

A shitling is a term used when defining a dirty orphan on the side of the road. (Be careful not to mistake for naturally brown orphans of the Indian and African American race.) It is also the proper word for babies born from infertile.
I saw a shitling on the side of the road the other day, it was so cute.
