L1P: Bro, why does my ass hole itch so much?
Stormy: Not sure, didn't you just visit Strump for that anal waxing?

"I checked around for bums and everything. I thought the area was clear, but then out popped a shadow bum from behind the building and he asked me for a cigarette!"

Shadow Listing is a list of people mainly in the Art community/Adoptable Community who are on a thin line for getting something from an artist.
A way to get Shadow Listed is by complaining about unfair rules in a Artist's/Creator's post when you do not get something, whining about how a Artist/Creator decides to keep a Adoptable, or you have harassed someone the Artist/Creator knew/is friends with.
All it does is lower the possibility of the person getting accepted, even if they are the only one who offers/enters.

Obsessive attention towards someone you're infatuated with in a controlled environment where both parties regularly see one another at a certain time. These feelings are usually one sided, and usually only felt by the person doing the shadowing.
Ex. Boy: Dude, there's that stalker chick coming our way again.
Boy 2: Stalker? I believe she's obsessively shadowing. She only does this while here at school and in between two out of 9 total class periods. Otherwise, she tries hard to NOT graduate up to stalker.
*girl walks past them, glancing at boy 2 with a smile. He smiles back, and boy 1 looks shocked.*
Boy 2: See what I mean, she's harmless.
Boy: I'd still pull her aside to talk about this, just to be sure.
Boy 2: Yeah, I guess. But all 7 periods, she doesn't even come anywhere near me at all. Outside of school, she's doing her own thing. If she were stalking, she would be doing it 24/7/365 and she would be doing it after school as well as during school.
