The action or practice of making mocking or critical comments about people who take medication.
Pill shaming is most-often directed at people who take/endorse taking psychotropic medicactions as part of a mental health relapse-prevention/recovery plan. As with fat shaming, pill shaming achieves little other than frustrate and humiliate individuals who may already be feeling self-conscious and vulnerable..
Those who indulge in pill shaming are often ideologically driven (eg: scientologists), but sometimes they're just ignorant fools. Since 2013 the act of pill shaming is sometimes called-out on Twitter with the hashtag #pillshaming.

FFS! Don't you think there's enough stigma about mental health already? I found an antidepressant that works for me. Critising people who take psych meds as victims of a psychiatry-big pharma conspiracy does not help me. It's nasty, ill-informed pill shaming.
I really, really dislike being told I am being fooled or oppressed because I take meds. On the contrary, I'm empowered to LIVE #PillShaming

Get the Polly Skelton mug.A driving term used to describe the act of slowing down before a stop sign without making a complete stop. Synonymous to a "rolling stop". In some areas of North Philadelphia, you wouldn't want to completely stop your car because there's a chance you'll get jacked or robbed if your car is stopped long enough. Thus, you slowly slide up to the stop sign and then continue on your way, lucky to still be in possession of your vehicle and your belongings.
