I like to shrug when my girlfriend asks me to apologize. Oh wait- I lost mine like twenty years ago.
Shrugs are all the rave among teenage girls. These alleged pieces of clothing provide neither warmth nor coverage. It also fails to increase the perception of chest size. The title derives from the action spurred by a girl wearing it. You shrug because you have no idea what it is for.
When I woke up in Spanish class today, I was surrounded on eight sides by girls wearing shrugs. I could only help but shrug.
When you make a thinly veiled attempt at weaving your way out of a situation/meeting someone/fulfiling an obligation. Some people do this more than others, and can develop a reputation for it.
"He gave me the shrug again, he does this everytime"
to be used in situations of extreme sarcasm, apathy, or general indifference. can also be used to express boredom or as a substitute for "whatever", "true" or "true story", "cool", "nice", or "meh".
Extreme sarcasm: "i guess that kid that killed himself really wanted to live shrug"
Extreme apathy: "if you dont want to live anymore why dont you just get hit by a bus shrug"
General indifference: "woke up hungover today shrug"
