Shade- When somebody is trying to shit talk to you, but is passive aggressive and dances around the subject while making smart-ass comments which are sometimes accompanied by facial expressions. Often referred to as 'throwing shade.'
"Hey Joe, how do you like your new coworkers?"
"Oh I love them, they're a great group of people.(EYE ROLL)"
"Damn Joe, throw that shade!"
"Oh I love them, they're a great group of people.(EYE ROLL)"
"Damn Joe, throw that shade!"

When you go to a furniture/carpet/flooring store and they don't have the item in the shade of grey you wanted, the store is '49 Shades Of Grey'.
"I really like darker greys... This store is terrible. It's 49 Shades of Grey, if you get what I mean."
