Wooden shield

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.
107-IQ God: *smirks* Omae wa mou shindeiru
107-IQ God: *plays the wooden shield*
Noob: *resigns in shame*

She's strong, brave and always have what she wants, its either a thing or a person. A talented to a friend and terrible to another. The world's never gonna agree on a definition of what you are but you don't give a fuck because you know yourself better than anyone. You are smart and think yourself as always the best, you didn't want to lose so keep your chin up because there are ones who truly believes and wants to bow their head on you

shaolin land 

The Wu-Tang clan called Staten Island the shaolin land.
I grew up on the crime side, the New York Times side
Staying alive was no jive
Had secondhands, Mom's bounced on old man
So then we moved to Shaolin land

shaolin shackles 

Unintentionally getting your pubic hair caught, snagged or stuck in a zipper while zipping up your pants or shorts.
The hippy chick that never shaves or grooms herself has the shaolin shackles and now needs a pair of scissors to free her pubic hair from the shorts she is wearing.

Marauder Shields 

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.
Honor Marauder Shields' sacrifice, retake mass effect 3!

After seeing the krogan, salarians, geth, rachni and the quarians work together to retake Palaven, Garrus Vakarrian's marauder shields helped him to get through the war.

he is a marauder for he stole our hearts
he is shields for he protected us
he lived as a generic enemy character, he died a hero.
RIP Marauder Shields
