Shipping

A verb used to describe the action of wishing for two people to enter a relationship (whether romantic or occasionally platonic) in books, movies, tv shows or real life. Shipping can often happen involuntarily, and it is the majority of what happens on the website, Tumblr. There are some very popular ships, some unpopular, as well as often lots of controversy between ships from the same fandom.

"Do you ship Klaroline, or Steroline?"

"Omigod. I am definitely shipping Olicity."

Shipping Wars

Verbal arguments between people who have different opinions about romantic relationships between characters of a show, book, etc.

A noticeable one would be the war between a

Robin/Raven shipper and a Robin/Starfire Shipper.

Don't say anything negative about "Stranded" online. You'll start a shipping war.

Safe Shipping Zone

A safe shipping zone is a space (typically a blog or website) where it is safe to "ship" any fictional pairings. The term is intended for the HP fandom and their pairings but can extend to any and all fandoms. Safe shipping zone means that you will not be judged for whatever characters you decide to "ship" (or want to be together) regardless of who they are and their sex/age/gender. It promotes a non-bullying atmosphere and encourages others to be respectful of certain pairings.

This is a safe shipping zone, you can ship whatever fictional or real life pairings you want without any judgement!

shipping

A term used to describe fan fictions that take previously created characters and put them as a pair. It usually refers to romantic relationships, but it can refer platonic ones as well. (Just think of "shipping" as short for "relationSHIP".)

It generally uses the initials of the characters shipped or a combination of the names, though this is not a rule.

Shipping Weasel

Someone who sells on Ebay but always charges waaaaay too much for shipping because that's how they make their profits without having to pay Ebay so much.

I nearly bought a replacement Ipod on Ebay the other day but the shipping weasel wanted $45 to send it.
