Well I'm gonna be an even bigger asswhole and say this;The following is the common urban definition of "Shipping":A term used to describe fan fictions that take previously created characters and put them as a pair. It usually refers to romantic relationships, but it can refer platonic ones as well. (Just think of "shipping" as short for "relationSHIP".)It's all true, except that the word "romantic" needs to be changed to "erotic", THEN it makes sense
