traffic shipping

Traffic shipping is the umbrella term for all shipping in the Life series, a hardcore Minecraft Smp that consists of a certain mechanic each season.

Commonly used on tumblr and X (twitter).

“Hey todd, do you support traffic shipping?”

“Of course, as long as they only ship their PERSONAS. Then it’s fine with me!”

shipping

Fandom uses this word as a verb to denote their interest in the possible (and perhaps more often impossible) romantic relationship between two characters in a piece of fiction belonging to any medium. It's really never used in a platonic way, but if it ever is, people tend to separately emphasize that they are using it platonically.

Usually written: Character/Character or CharacterxCharacter. Fanfiction without any shipping, or with little emphasis on ship is usually labeled genfic, which there is a depressing lack of.

Person 1: It is a little weird how much I am retroactively shipping DoogiexVinnie.
Person 2: Yeah. That's kinda damaged. And Vinnie's like a little weasel. He's got a weasel face.
Person 1: But did you notice how weirdly gay they are for each other???
Person 2: No. Eww. Stop talking.

shipping

In fanfic, putting characters into a romantic relationship, such as writing Ash + Misty from Pokemon as a couple. Often plays on perceived chemistry between characters in the original series. Abbreviated form of the word relationshipping.

These fanfics are just a load of shipping. There's no plot...

anti-shipping

(1) The intense opposition of the phenomenon of shipping.
(2) A strong opposition to a particular character pairing.

n. anti-shipper: One who anti-ships.

v. anti-ship: To anti-ship.

(1) After suffering through 700 shipping threads on anime forums, I finally gave into temptation and initiated an anti-shipping campaign. But the shippers bitched so much that those asshat admins banned me for trolling.

(2) Why aren't there more Shinji/Rei anti-shippers? That relationship is wrong on SO many levels.

Ghetto Shipping

Using the shipping supplies from one courier company to ship a package via another courier, thereby saving money on office supplies.

"Dude, you printed your FedEx shipping label on one of the DHL label sheets."

"Yeah, it fits perfectly on the page, and DHL gives us these label sheets for free."

"That's some ghetto shipping, man."

"You know it."

hate shipping

When you hate the idea of two characters being in a romantic relationship with one another so much but you ship them anyway (or you start to ship them because they hate each other.) Usually occurs when said two characters have a rivalry/enemies dynamic and claim they can't stand the other, but with the added step of passionately making out and being very attracted to each other. The romantic equivalent of hate sex, but for shipping.

"Wow, I hate x and x together so much, it makes no sense and they hate each other in canon."
*saves fanart and reads fanfiction of the ship anyway*
"So hear me out, they are horrible for each other logically speaking but how can I say no to this chemistry? Something about hate shipping really does it for me. Also they're so hot."
