Shan

Shan is an amazing girl with a massive love for animals, and in particular horses. She is stunningly pretty, and can definitely be relied on if you need a favour. However, make sure you stay on the good side of Shan as you definitely don't want to see her nasty side because if you do, she can be a douche. If you stay on the good side with Shan, you'll be friends for life. Shan is loved by a lot of people, and quite a handful of boys are attracted to her. If your lucky enough to be her boyfriend, she will stay with you and put alot of effort into the relationships. Shan's are often dating or shipped with people names James, Billy, Luke, Michael, Braydon/Brandon, Keenan, Beau, Andrew, Hunta, Ben, Milo, Gregory, Malcom, Taj or John. When Shan's are sad, ask them if they're ok, but if they don't open up to you, it's best to let them be as they love their own space. Shan's have many friends and are usually all close friends with girls named Hannah, Toni, Holly, Josie, Grace, Millie and Freya and heaps more. Overall, Shan's are amazing, pretty, animal-loving and talented girls.

shan

A word English chavs think is their own unique word but it's just another from Scots which has been in regular use in Scotland for hundreds of years. Earliest example from the work of Allan Ramsay, a Scots makar from the 17th century.

Has a variety of meanings including worn-out, unfair, frightened, and more. Of obscure origin. Possibly from old Scottish Gaelic 'sean', meaning old, worn, ancient.

Shan

Used in Northern England, meaning unfair, inappropriate, not right.
Sometimes also used as a term of embarrassment.

Watching someone get picked on and feeling bad, "That's so shan!"

Falling over and having the piss taken out of you, "What a shan that was!" - "I'm really shanning now!"
