[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Shade would be, "did you get lost on your way to Ultrabar?"[/quote]

+1.  OP seems she wants to be perceived as cool, but she used the term incorrectly.[/quote]
NP. Neither of you know what shade is either. As I posted earlier, shade is [i]subtle[/i]. It requires you to pause and only after a few seconds realize you have been insulted. "Did you get lost on your way to Ultrabar?" is a really obvious insult. If you wanted to throw shade while referencing Ultrabar, something like "Oh, you look ready to party! You must be on your way to Ultrabar" said in a perfectly cheerful tone would be the way. The person you said that to would have to pause, wonder why you thought she was headed there, realize that you were referencing her clothes, and then wonder if you intended an insult or are just obtuse. When thrown properly, shade creates plausible deniability. [/quote]

I'm the immediate PP--you're right.  I grabbed the wrong post to agree with.  Shade is more subtle.  Rep. Maxine Waters is the queen of shade. [/quote]
