Ship

a common thing in the fandoms, that basically means a need to a couple, or in some cases more fictional characters to have a romantical relationship. Probably comes from "relationship" or in a reference to a ship(romantic feelings) drifting on sea(relationship), and when it's sailing, the couple loves each other, but if it's sinking, their love is ending.

Ships have a names, that are shortcuts from characters that we want to be together. Mostly those names are from beginning of the character's names, and the one who's more dominating(seme in our opinion, is on beginning, and the one who's not (uke), in the ending, but it can be in different arrangement

Except for that, you'll need few more words to fully understand that, such as OTP, wich means that this is a couple we want to be together the most, and NOTP - the least.
1.
-Do you ship FrUk?
-It's not my OTP. but yes, I ship that.
2.
-Ooh, the ship is sailing!
-I don't think so. They've just met.
3.
-I heard that you were crying all night long. What happened?
-Jarco had drown..

Echo-ship

Echo-ship

/ˈɛkəʊ-ʃɪp/ noun

1. A lingering emotional or physical connection between former romantic partners who are no longer together, often resurfacing out of nostalgia, comfort, or unresolved feelings.

2. A relationship that exists only as an echo of what once was — familiar but hollow, repeating old patterns without real commitment or future.

“It wasn’t love anymore, just an echo-ship — two people haunted by their own history.”

Etymology:
From echo (a reflection or repetition of sound) + relationship. Coined to describe the emotional “after-sound” of a past romance that continues to reverberate even after it has officially ended.
“They said they’d moved on, but their late-night messages showed they were still stuck in an echo-ship.”

If it fits, it ships

An overloaded and/or poorly loaded vehicle, often U-Haul rental equipment. Obviously unsafe even to casual observers. High risk of the load becoming dislodged, causing a traffic accident and heavy damage to the vehicle and load.

Justified by the moron driving by saying "if it fits it ships". From an early 2000s US Postal Service advertising campaign.
I rented a U-Haul car carrier to tow the F-350 behind my Honda Civic. Yeah I know the truck bed is full of paving stones. No, not the other way around, the Civic is the tow vehicle.

If it fits, it ships.
