window shopping

When one visits a store or mall to admire goods rather than to purchase them. The 'shopper' seems to be looking so intently at the glass in storefront windows that he appears to want to buy the window itself, hence 'window shopping'.

"You seem to be really interested in that sweater. Do you plan on getting it?"

"No, I'm just window shopping."

Swag Shopping

When you go to a career fair and instead of looking for jobs/internships, you just collect all the free company swag.

Leroy: Yo, you find a job yet?
Steve: Nah, I'm just here swag shopping.
Leroy: What you get so far?
Steve: 10 reusable bags, 5 high lighters, 13 pens, a nerf football, small baseball bat, USB sticks, bag of chips, Frisbee, and toilet paper.

shipping

A term used to describe fan fictions that take previously created characters and put them as a pair. It usually refers to romantic relationships, but it can refer platonic ones as well. (Just think of "shipping" as short for "relationSHIP".)

It generally uses the initials of the characters shipped or a combination of the names, though this is not a rule.

Ninja shopping

Going to a large shop or store, typically a supermarket and getting in and out really quickly. To just buy what you were going in for without getting delayed by special offers or little old ladies getting in the way.

Max was out of the store with the beers before they guys had even found a good parking spot. Thats why they sent him, he was the best at ninja shopping.

My friends and I went sherman shopping tonight. Would you like some apples from my fridge?
