Shipping Wars

Where a bunch of people start arguing, and wage a war over which couples in a show were meant to be canon in a webcomic, anime, tv show,ect.

I went on this chat room, and there were all these people who started arguing over Homestuck shipping. The arguement quickly became a full on shipping war, and i got involved. Darn shipping wars

Shipping Wars

Verbal arguments between people who have different opinions about romantic relationships between characters of a show, book, etc.

A noticeable one would be the war between a

Robin/Raven shipper and a Robin/Starfire Shipper.

Don't say anything negative about "Stranded" online. You'll start a shipping war.

shipping wars

a war (normally online) started in order to prove that one ship is better than another one. normally, both of the ships are fairly popular and well-liked in the fandom. sometimes, there are 3-4 ships involved in the war, though there are normally only 2. these wars can get way more aggressive than they sound, and people can get seriously hurt online just for not shipping the same thing as someone else.

person #1: saimatsu is the best ship in v3
person #2: no lol it's saiouma
person #1: lmao no fuck off saiouma is toxic and cringe
person #2: nahhh saimatsu is forced you homophobic bitch
person #1: the fuck did you just call me you fujoshi??
person #2: i'm not a fujoshi lmaoaoaoao,, i'm just not homophobic
*insert 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 years of arguing*

Fleg

The word 'flag' as pronounced by people with thick Belfast accents. The term is a perfect encapsulation of the disproportionate and overblown reaction to the removal of the Union Jack (as in 'de fleg') from above City Hall in Belfast. Where previously it had flown for 365 days per year, it is now flown on 17 designated days of the year - in line with many other British cities.

The event caused a portion of the Protestant community ('fleggers') to make international pricks of themselves as they proceeded to wreck the fucking place, claiming it was another erosion of a 'British' identity they perceive to have been under attack since the horrifying spectre of equality reared its head in Northern Ireland.

The word 'fleg' - and indeed 'fleggers' - fittingly describes a section of humanity unconcerned with knowledge, reality or the vagaries of the English language. Like America's tea-baggers they are ruled by instinct, fear and paranoia with a side dish of rampant bigotry and startling ignorance of the world around them.

"Wat de fuck like! The taigs got de fleg took down! Let's wreck de fuckin place! No surrender!"

"De fleg has been took down! Before ye know it there'll be a united Ireland! Attack Short Strand! God Save The Queen!"

Skeef

To take something small, that doesn't quite qualify as a theft. Probably from the Danish "skæv" or the Dutch "scheef", both of which are pronounced similarly, meaning "askew, or not quite right'. To change an item's ownership without permission, but only something small and of little worth.

"I skeefed an apple off the neighbor's tree." "I skeefed some chips outta your bag when you looked away." "Don't skeef my chair when I go to the bathroom."

Hair spider

A tight, tangled knot of loose hair and lint that forms inside clothing during the clothes dryer cycle. It typically hides inside garments, causing an annoying lump or a phantom tickling sensation against the skin until it is found or falls out onto the floor during folding.

I was folding my clothes and a huge hair spider fell out onto my hand
