Hot Button Shield

A controversial or activist topic used to deflect criticism, typically in a creative work.
The movie wasn't celebrating the culture, it was more using it. The "diversity" is that movie is such a hot button shield for their terrible writing.

Shield volcano

As the name suggests, a shield volcano is broad and flat, like a shield. Made primarily of lava flows, shield volcanoes are less dangerous than the smaller stratovolcanoes. Examples include the Hawaiian islands, the base of Mount Etna (upon which several stratovolcanoes were built), Geldingadalir in Iceland, and Erta Ale in Ethiopia. Their lavas are generally fluid and runny, allowing them to spread farther from a vent than a stratovolcano’s lava would. As they travel farther from their source they eventually cool, forming a new layer to the shield volcano. Their slopes are weak, and thus prone to fissure eruptions, which send curtains of fire hundreds of feet into the air.
Kilauea is a shield volcano in the United States. Its broad surface features a long series of craters (aptly named the Chain of Craters) on its East Rift Zone, extending from the summit to the eastern tip of the Big Island. In May of 2018, a series of fissures emerged in the Leilani Estates, wiping out dozens of homes and creating massive lava flows.

Shield-maidening

"Shield-maidening" is a derogatory term that describes when a woman unnecessarily defends a man to gain favor or attention sexually or non-sexually. It can range from her defending/protecting and/or affirming a man's physique, intelligence, dating preference, etc. where it is unwarranted.
This term is the female version of the term "White-Knighting."
I saw this woman shield-maidening a guy online who stated he deserved a supermodel rather than an average woman when other people disagreed with his shallow opinion.

Stop shield-maidening that dude! You're giving them damaging advice!

Oh boy, some chick is shield-maidening.

Commando Shield

When you use underwear (preferably clean boxers) as an emergency MASK. You put your head in the waistband and through one leg, allowing the material to cover your leg. You put the other leg, bottom first over the top you your head. Fold the waistband under and you are done and protected.

A "Dirty Commando Shield" would be in an extreme emergency situation when you are forced to remove your underwear and use it as a mask as described above.
I tried to go to the store but they wouldn't let me in without a mask, so I returned to the car and put on my commando shield.

shields brick

A shields brick is a portion of chips/fried rice/noodles and curry sauce, bought from numerous Chinese takeaway restaurants in North shields. This is not an expensive item.. It takes on an almost industrial strength brick shape in its container. Can be used as construction material, a weapon, or for culinary delight. Is also inexpensive, so a way to swerve the food banks. =
Bit skint and clamming..might get a shields brick.
