Verb. Refers to alternate method of alcohol consumption. A variation of of the "shotgun" method in which a hole is created in the side of beer can near the bottom; however, instead of drinking the beer through the hole after the tab is popped, the beer is pour down and inside the front of the drinker's pants, soaking their crotch area. This method is preferred by heavily intoxicated males who have accepted the fact that they have no chance of hooking up with a girl that night.

Shotgun Snap

When somebody sends a (usually generic) snapchat to multiple people at once, in the hopes it will spur popularity with them, begin convos with somebody, or keep a streak alive.
Also includes when somebody sends the same snapchat they've posted to their story to other people directly.

Derives from "shotgun texts" & "shotgun messages"

Shotgun shine 

This is an expression related to the blueing of a gun - specifically a high-end shotgun. In the South especially, a finer shotgun would have a "blueing" or a "blue" of the steel that was accomplished by way of the quality of the steel and the effort of the person who owned the gun polishing it. "Shotgun shine" is a simplification/symbolism of this concept and a way of saying that a person has a killer instinct; however attractive they may be. It's not necessarily a positive expression, and surprising that in the nearly 25 years since Alabama 3 used it, and since the Sopranos used it in this manner exactly, that no one else has put it on Urban Dictionary.
It's a shame about little Johnny Sack - he's got such potential in real estate, but also that shotgun shine.

True Canadian Shotgun 

A True Canadian Shotgun (TCS) is the best pick-me-up for any time of the day. Although this shot gun uses Tim Hortons coffee instead of beer there is still some alcohol involved. A TCS is made up of three liquids: Tims coffee in a Tims to-go cup (as mentioned before), Canadian maple syrup, and Canadian rye whisky (preferably Crown Royal).

To do a TCS you first make sure the lid to your coffee is on well, then flip the cup upside down and poke a hole into the cup, just like you would if you were shotgunning normally. Then add a shot of whisky to the coffee and shotgun away. After you have shotgunned the coffee and whisky mixture use Maple Syrup as a chaser.

A good drinking game to play is whenever you see a moose you have to do a True Canadian Shotgun. (Best played when in Newfoundland)
