      When people put two (or more) characters together romantically/sexually in a relationship. Example being Hermione and harry in harry potter. Some “fandoms” can get real insufferable about “ships”

        Oh, so that’s what it is. I was getting really confused because I only know shipping as sending packages and stuff and was wondering (besides environmental effects) what’s wrong with it.

      It’s when you pay a courier to move things from one place to another. I’m thinking OP likes a major courier like FedEx or UPS and is tired of getting flak for it.

      I thought they meant everything that exists has been shipped as in delivered somewhere and was fairly confused because drugs were the only thing I could think of that someone may be surprised have been delivered by an actual shipping company

            Well that’s just confusing as all get out.

            When I was younger, I was told the difference between a boat and a ship was that “a ship can carry a boat, but a boat can’t carry a ship”

            So what am I supposed to call a ship that can carry not one ship but three ships?
