Shade Whore

Shade Whore is a guy or girl who thinks every thing on social media, like posted statuses or memes are shade thrown out for them. They make a big deal about it, tell their friends and create make up drama for attention or because they feel guilty and need support to feel less guilty. Deep down they're over-sensitive, bad liars with people who easily believe them and and a lot of the time no shade was ever thrown at them. With this definition, you can now evade the lies and drama of a Shade Whore.

A: "I posted this funny meme the other day and X thought I was throwing shade. No, the meme was just funny."

B: "Omg, I made this status that was supposed to be inspirational and X thought I was being fake and throwing shade . X is such a Shade Whore...like no one cares."

no shade no shame

a phrase used to indicate that a person's actions are nothing to be ashamed of. Used in a reassuring manner towards someone else, or as a statement to justify one's own actions.

Not to be confused with 'no tea no shade,' which usually precedes a subtle insult, 'no shade no shame' is a genuine statement of solidarity with another person's actions, or unapologetic pride in one's own actions.

You workin the pole to feed your three kids? Keep doin you honey, no shade no shame!

I went to the All-you-can-eat Buffet and I brought my own foil paper and fixed myself a to-go plate! No shade no shame!
