Shading

Being clever, witty, silly and fun when getting into an awkward situation, meeting a new person or boss, or presenting a project or group activity.

I see you’ve been shading your way through those group presentations!

Man I wasn’t sure how you would do meeting the new VP of sales but you really shaded your way through that.

Kentucky Shade Tree

When a male individual neatly rests each testicle over each closed eye socket of a fellow individual, (male or female), hence shading the eyes like a Kentucky Shade Tree.

They were sleeping so I gave them a Kentucky Shade Tree to keep the sun out of their eyes.
