Get the catch the fade mug.Excellent haircut made popular by those shining examples of ignorance, The Gotti Brothers. Popularized by guidos in the NY/NJ area, it looks like your hair would look if you stepped into a wind tunnel and applied liberal amounts of pork chop grease to your head. To be a true 'fade', it must be waterproof, so when coming out of the ocean down at the "Jersey Shore" it looks exactly the same as it did before entering. Talked about in the Point Pleasant "Shore" area in the most heinous, derogatory terms.
Hey Gino, get your Brookly Fade goin'. You down to go to Tempt's tonight? It closed? Yo, dawg, then we hit D'Jai's.
Look at the guido primping his Brooklyn Fade before jumping in the water. Bet you he high-five's his buddies when he eats it bodysurfing.

Get the run the fade mug.A passive-aggressive method to 'break up' with a friend without being hurtful. Similar to ghosting, this method is NOT an abrupt process and can apply to just about anyone. Care should be taken when choosing this strategy:
• Take longer and longer intervals to return phone calls, text messages, etc.. and avoid making commitments. For ex: take a week to return a voicemail or a few days for a text. As the weeks go by, the lag between all communications gradually increases.
• Never answer the phone if you see that person's number on your caller ID. Wait at least a week to return the message (unless it's an emergency), preferably via text.
• Avoid face-to-face meetings (like coffee or lunch) and make excuses to skip activities you both enjoyed previously (like going to the movies).
The goal is to gently un-friend that person at a kind and gingerly pace. It can be a very effective method for those averse to conflict or part of tightly knit groups. Over time, your feelings may change, and you may want to rekindle the friendship. With this method, you haven't burned all your bridges.

After years of being told by her best friend that she needed to lose weight, Lizzie decided to do the friendly fade. She started by avoiding her phone calls, not replying right away to her texts, and making her invisible on her Facebook timeline.

Get the friendly fade mug.The term "fade" is from South Central, L.A.
Gang members originally meant murder when they talked about fading someone. If you fade a gang member you are decreasing the number of members in his gang and effectively "fading" his color.
Today the term fade is more flexible by simply meaning "disgrace".

Get the fade mug.A classic way to end a scene in cinema editing in which the screen image becomes increasingly obscured until it turns black. It has the advantage of being less abrupt than a simple cut.
