verb: "to block (online, in order to push out all dissenting opinions)"
A derivation of the YouTube member Steve Shives (previously famous for his "5 Stupid Things..." series, in which he chooses a topic and makes a video elaborating on five silly or nonsensical aspects of that topic). Steve Shives is known to block seemingly anyone and everyone who argues against points he's made, and is now famous for blocking people freely and with abandon.
