When a person engaged in covert advertising attempts to personally defend a product in public forums with the pretense of sincerity by claiming any form of criticism against the product is due to a societal prejudice held by the critics, while providing no proof of the societal bias. However, they are in fact being paid for their services.

Get the shilld mug.Ultra-effective chess tactic whereby a diagonal piece (i.e. a bishop or a queen) attacks 4 opponent pieces at the same time, so that the attacked pieces form an X-shape between each other, thus (according to legendary chess grandmaster xQc) resembling a wooden shield. The best move in response to the wooden shield tactic is considered to be resignation, as computers are yet to find a position where any response to the tactic doesn't lose on the spot. The tactic is considered to be incomprehensible to inexperienced players and even grandmasters, and only exceptionally high-IQ individuals with an IQ of 107 over are considered to be capable of understanding it.
Coined by prominent proponent of the Bing-Bang-Boom chess philosophy GM xQc, the wooden shield is an essential part of the theory behind the Flying Dragon, Knight variation, as well as the Flying Dragon, I Take Your Pawn variation openings, which build upon the idea that early pawns don't matter - an idea repeatedly corroborated by top-of-the-line engines and neural nets such as AlphaZero.

Noob: I'm a queen, a rook, and two pieces up in material, this guy's got no chance.

Get the Wooden shield mug.The most successful conman of the 21st Century so far. He can always be seen manipulating people and markets, selling unattainable space dreams to starry-eyed young people, running pump&dump schemes on crypto markets, feeding his own fake "visionary messiah" complex on Twitter, using pop-culture terminology and lame comedic attempts to gain followers to his cult of personality while selling futuristic bs to the masses.
Always be shilling for that sweet government dough, Shillon.

Get the shill mug.the greatest video game boss to ever exist. unlike majority of in-game bosses who fight the protagonist because of conflicting ideals, Marauder Shields, an indoctrinated turian husk from Mass Effect 3 armed with only an assault rifle opposes the protagonist in hopes of preventing the said protagonist from entering the conduit and experiencing a crappy ending.
His legacy carries on to the campaign to retake the great Bioware franchise, and his name has become synonymous with hope brought upon from sacrifice.

RIP Marauder Shields

Get the Virginity Shield mug.A shill is a person who publicly attempts to constitute, increase or sustain credibility and/or approval of/to an entity without disclosing that they have a relationship with the entity, understating the type, importance or closeness of said relationship or concealing the actual role in which they perform for said entity.
The goal of the the shill is a (expected) personal benefit, may it be profit (participation), wage, payment by result or enabling, increasing or sustaining the chance of success for a specific socio-economic or socio-political project.
The entity can be either a person or an organized or disorganized group. Organized groups have some level of structure and decision-making ability while disorganized groups don't.
Organized groups can be the government, politicial parties, profit-oriented companies, investment or interest groups (hedgefonds, freemasons) or non-profit non-government organizations like non-profit companies, charities, churches or cults. Disorganized groups can be religions or unreligious cosmovisions (atheism, humanism), permanent political ideologies (f.e. communism, capitalism) or temporary political interest groups (f.e. "pro-life-movement" for abolishing the right to have an abortion).
The difference between shilling and expression of opinion is that the benefit is received from an external rather than an (emotional or intellectual) internal source or that the external force dominates the internal motivation.
