Shenatics

A mixture of Shenanigans and Antics. An art that consists of vigorous activity in the pursuit of nonsense and frivolity.

If you don't stop these shenatics, we will have to ask you to leave the park.

Semantics

An argument, or a type of guarantee that the outcome of your statement can be taken in two or more ways which will benefit you in either way it’s perceived. The *careful* use of semantics can be applied to situations which allow you to be right in any reverse query. You’re basically using their own ignorance against them. See example...

“I put up an ad on craigslist and used your picture.” This could mean the person used a picture that the other party has taken of them, or they used a picture of the other party. The answer has been concealed within semantics and incomplete phrasing.

Shantics

A combination of antics and shannigans. It is each word squared which makes for the most amount of antics and shannigans. Scholars believe the word was first used in 2005 by a kid who was really high.

My niggas got shantics.

shenannies

Short for shenanigans. However, unlike shenan (also short for shenanigans), this is used to call out tomfoolery on things that are little and cute. Like bunny rabbits, rainbows and babies for example.

"Hey hott stuff, swing on down to my spot and I'll show you my collection of rainbows"
"Shenannies. And I don't want a VD."

semantics

The study of the meaning of words.

Often misused when quibbling about something someone said. In that context, the statement "That's only semantics" would be more aptly phrased as "You're just 'splitting hairs on word meanings."

Often used within the phrase "That's only semantics":
-- as a blanket repudiation of precise communication.

-- by persons advocating 'subjective feelings' over 'objective description' as a mainstay of communication.

The very concept of semantics is frequently disparaged by wishy-washy passive-aggressives who refuse to be accountable for their careless use of language or their deplorable lack of education.

Skater-boy was too lazy to choose his words carefully, unaware that without semantics, even his street drivel would be incomprehensible.
