At Rainbow Gatherings, when someone yells this, everyone comes running to help them! I saw it in action & the Rainbow Family even has attorneys!
When I heard shanticina/shantisina I went running to help this guy who'd been handcuffed. Everybody responded to the call for help. Someone sawed the handcuffs off the guy & people circled around him & got him away from the 6~up! (cops)
Derived from "Shawshank" (i.e. "The Shawshank Redemption"), shankshawing is the process of slowly chipping away at a person until the ultimate goal is achieved.
Said "goal" is usually the love/affection of a person who is already in a relationship. First you become their friend, their shoulder to lean on when times get tough with their partner, the person they share their secrets with - then when they suddenly become single, what do you know? You are now their #1 option. BAM - shankshaw'd.
- I think I want to dateBilly.
- But he already has a girlfriend.
- Don't even worry about it...I'll start shankshawing now, and in about 6 months, he'll be mine.

This man is the coolest character to ever grace the One Piece universe, and I need to see more of him.
Person #1: Bruh, I adore Aokiji. Coolest guy ever.
Person #2: Are you kidding? Have you even READ/WATCHED One Piece? Red-Haired Shanks world domination, my dude.
Person #1: Dude, Aokiji can literally turn to ice. He's made of ice. He can make ice. He is the physical manifestation of "cool".
A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.
For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
