Shadow Default

Coined in 2023. When someone in Canada cannot pay their mortgage and they haven't defaulted by banking standards. However, their loan balance is increasing and amortization is being pushed out because they cannot afford to pay (negative amortization). The default is happening in the shadows as it is not being picked up by regulators or the public. The person is in a shadow default.

Tom took out that variable rate mortgage in 2021 when he creamed his shorts to buy a house. He is now in shadow default as rates went up and he can't afford the mortgage.

Shadow Karens

An individual who exhibits Karen-like behavior (entitled, obnoxious, complaining middle aged woman, and other similar traits) but does so covertly so as to avoid confrontation.

Last week somebody complained that your beard is too long, and this morning I got a complaint that you were seen accelerating too quickly down the street
Oh sorry, I didn't realize the shadow karens were watching

Shadows Life

The expression “Shadows Life” describes a lifestyle revolving around underground music, art and other street subcultures. You may see Shadows Life spray painted in an alley behind a punk rock dive bar in a seedy part of town, tagged on the grip tape of a skateboard or printed on the shirt of a emcee at a hip hop cypher.
The Shadows Life isn’t for everyone. Many seek and need the mainstream validation, striving to live up to conventional standards. Living the Shadows Life means to desregard the mainstream scenes and thrive in the Shadows instead.

Example in use:
Basic Joe: “What are you some sort of mutant creature? Why don’t you just dress and act like everybody else. Don’t you want to be like everybody else?”
Bleak: “nah bro I’m good, I’m bout that Shadows Life”
