Shadowlands

An unholy realm peopled by phantoms, spirits and ghosts that are in a perpetual disturbed state, awaiting execution.
Only in the Shadowlands can what you seek be revealed.

Shadowcat

Kathryn 'Kitty' Pryde, one-time youngest member of the legendary mutant team known as the X-Men. Her power was known as Corporal Intangability, which would let her 'phase' her molecules through any solid object, effectively passing through it like a ghost. Formerly known by the code names 'Sprite' and 'Ariel,' she later went on to be a founding member of Britain's premiere superhero team, Excalibur.
Running as fast as she could, Shadowcat phased through the obstacles that got in her way.

shadowban

Banning a user from a web forum in such a way that the banned user is unaware of the ban. Usually takes the form of showing that user's posts/profile/etc. only to that user; other users never see them. Considered underhanded chicken-shit behavior.
Fark has turned into a bunch of shadowbanning pricks.

Shadowhunters

Shadowhunters are humans who protect and govern the mundanes and downworlders in Cassandra Clare's The Mortal Instruments and Infernal Devices.

Shadowhunters are humans who are born with the blood of the Angel Raziel. They 'control' the shadow world and those who live in it e.g. downworlders (warlocks, fairies, vampires, werewolves)and demons. Their mandate is to keep the peace in the Shadow World and keep it hidden from the mundane world while protecting the inhabitants of both worlds.

Shadowhunters despite having the blood of the Angel, are mortal and therefore vulnerable to old age and death; however, their angelic blood gives them special abilities (that mundanes do not posses)that allow them to slay demons and have somewhat special powers through runes.
"We are sometimes called the Nephilim. In the Bible they were the offspring of humans and angels."
–Hodge Starkweather

shadowfan12507

Use this to describe someone who died to Boa Hancock in any game.
Person 1: How did shadowfan12507 die to Boa?
Person 2: Yeah it’s weird, he’s also really inconsistent in saying if he likes her or not.
Person 1: Who knows, maybe he died because he tried fighting her with one hand.

Shadowhunters

An elite group of fictional warriors (from the City of Bones books)
Trained since childhood to fight and slay the downworlders, demons and faeries that attempt to create havoc on earth.

Shadowhunters are different from humans which they call "mundanes", the Shadowhunters are what you could call an enhanced race of humans

Shadowhunters are physically marked with Runes over their skin, the older or more elite a Shadowhunter, the more Runes they will have

The Runes create different types of effects, some are defensive and some aid strength etc.
these Runes are tattooed onto the Shadowhunter using a Stele (a specially crafted Shadowhunter weapon)

Its a really cool concept so go read Cassandra Clare's books:
City of Bones
City of Ashes &
City of Glass
And Yes, I do have way too much time on my hands :)

Fanny shadowing

When women can’t let men organise a group dinner or weekend on their own terms and collaborate separately to make shadow plans and agree logistics. The women consequently voluntarily take on the burden of making arrangements and perpetuate outdated gender roles.
“Hey Hun, the boys said they would organise our get together but noone’s done anything and it’s , shall we say Saturday 6pm at yours?”
“No Hun, let them sort it out, no good ever comes from fanny shadowing.”
