Moonlight Shadow

When a beer pong team, composed of one black dude and one white dude, run the table and go 10-0 and sign the table in permanent marker; the moonlight shadow is created when the white dude hits a cup and the black dude immediately follows, thus creating a moonlight shadow by combining their super skills at pong.
Crowd: Did you see that? Ross just hit that cup! He's sick at pong!

Crowd: Oh my god! Pat just hit the second cup! It's rollbacks! They created a moonlight shadow! I can't believe it!

Ross: Good stuff bro.

Pat: Anytime my brother.

Shadow Daddy

A popular trope for male love interests within the romance-fantasy (romantasy) book genre. It is a common phrase found on BookTok.

A Shadow Daddy often has the following characteristics: 1) tall, dark, and handsome, 2) a tortured and traumatic past, 3) a “tough guy” exterior that terrifies most people (with the exception of the female interest usually), and 4) the ability to wield some type of shadow/darkness/night magical power.

A “Shadow Daddy” often begins a story as a misunderstood character that initially comes off as cocky or intense, and the female love interest usually dislikes him at first. But eventually the Shadow Daddy’s true personality ends up shining through — honorable, selfless, kind, protective, a willingness to be seen as a villain for the greater good, and LOYAL to a fault — and through this he eventually wins over the female love interest. Bonus points if he ends up worshipping the ground the female love interest walks on.

He’s almost always dominant in the bedroom, but never so dominant that he disregards the female main character’s agency. Extra bonus points if he uses his shadow powers in the bedroom as bondage, or he loses control over his shadow powers when he climaxes.

Some popular examples of characters that embody the “Shadow Daddy” trope:

Rhysand from A Court of Thorns and Roses
Azriel from A Court of Thorns and Roses
Dorian Havilliard from Throne of Glass
Xaden Riorson from Fourth Wing
Nyktos from Flesh and Fire
My favorite Shadow Daddy is Rhysand from ACOTAR. Instead of hiding the darkness that exists inside of him, Rhys weilds it as a weapon for the greater good. He’s also handsome, devoted to Feyre, and good in bed. He’s my Shadow Daddy.

Shadow bagger

A shadow bagger is a stranger who in public will stand so close behind you that you can't see them and they are out of your peripherals. Only when you turn your head or back/bump into them you notice them!
"Last night at the party I stepped out to check out the moon and I had no idea that Shadow Bagger Chris was standing behind me the whole time...next time I'm throwing an elbow!"

shadow man's game

When an individual gives you a lot of information on various things over a prolonged period of time, which they tell you not because you want to know about it, which often times you don't want to know about it, but because you need to know about it for the good of yourself and the individuals in your life who you care about
Earl: Max keeps telling me about a lot of different stuff they hear about, not only from the news from various sources of information. Some of the stuff they are telling me is interesting, while some of it is not that intriguing. Almost all of it though seems to shed some light about what is actually going on out there.

Nicolette: He is playing the shadow man's game. He is not telling you that information because you want to know about it; he is telling you that information because he thinks you need to know about it. You should listen to what he is saying.
Earl: I'll keep that in mind.

Shadow Stabbing

Like Sneak Dissing, but in the form of memes or other social media posts usually directed to an Ex Friend or partner you had a relationship with.

This usually is done after the target person has unfriended your online, so they'll still see it.

However, the Shadow Stabber's Friend's are unaware that it's directed to someone specific.
Yo, did you see the meme that girl posted online?
She's totally Shadow Stabbing at her Ex lmao!
