sheltering the homeless

Making sure less fortunate people who started with less opportunity get the food and shelter they need in order to survive.

Sheltering the homeless is good, its moral as well as a help to society.

Crotch-sheltering

Used in some circles, mainly among stoners as The act of clumsily holding things between your thighs in close proximity to your crotch and trying not to drop them, while both you're hands are pre-occupied, usually with a bong and a lighter or a bag of Tostitos. This is fairly common when ones too high to understand that maybe the table next to them or even simply the floor is a more logical means of security for breakable items. When ones too stoned to remember that they're crotch-sheltering anything at all, or that they even put anything between their legs in the first place, this may result in something either crushing or dropping. That is how you break a bong. OR it can be used to call out someone either hogging the bong and not using it, or a bag of chips without eating it, while holding these things between their thighs.

Person 1: *finished bong hit* "person 2, I have the munchies, toss me the chips"
Person 2: *tosses person 1 the chips*
Person 1: *starts muching away on the chips and places bong in between legs without using it*

Person 2: "person 1, I want a hit where's the bong?"
Person 1: "I don't know" *too stoned obviously at this point* *spends 20 minutes looking around the room for the bong*

Person 2:"you idiot, youre crotch-sheltering it!"

Bomb Sheltering

The part of a shroom/DXM/acid trip when everyone is too tripped out to say anything. It feels like everyone else is dead and you are in a bomb shelter.

Dude: ...
Other dude: ...
Third dude: This is total bomb sheltering.

Shelterive

the word that is used to describe a parent/guardian who is both sheltering and protective. While they both have similar meanings, this word is just funnier to say.

" Yeah, you know how my mom is. She's very shelterive"
