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.

Personality Shield

When someone takes the part of them that is “oppressed” and use it to get away with being a mean person.

Person 1: Did you see that guy get beaten up?!
Person 2: It’s okay because they are female/gay/trans and the person who got beaten was probably harassing them.
Person 1: That’s such a personality shield.
(This is an over exaggerated example)

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.

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.
