Shade

A form of sneaky but slightly obvious disrespect or dissing

Ani was mad at Nneoma for being fake. Ani was throwing shade.

Example of shade:
(A girl's hair isnt fully flat ironed)
Other girl: oh you flat ironed yyour hhair *giggle*

shade-y

racism by way of continuing to work on mostly or all-White teams; particularly relevant to creative & casting teams

"let me know if they're being shade-y at auditions for Beauty and the Beast... they better not use "but they were French" as an excuse to only call back the White girls!"

"Psh, they really said "sassy best friend from across the tracks" in the character breakdown. Shade-y."

being shaded

Cruelty so subtle that people often didn't know they were even being ridiculed until everyone was laughing at them and they were forced to go along with the joke.

At the time, she was not aware that she was being shaded until he later made the comment to others and got everyone laughing at her.
