That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

They are Shadow Master, Master of Shadows?

Isn't throwing shade an old school phrase? Maybe regional? I will have to look it up!

Urban Dictionary:

throw shade

to talk trash about a friend or aquaintance, to publicly denounce or disrespect. When throwing shade it's immediately obvious to on-lookers that the thrower, and not the throwee, is the bitcy, uncool one

"How does Kimmy keep any friends? Last night at the party all she did was throw shade at people."

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

All of the sudden I am seeing it everywhere! Especially in reference to Glee actors?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

It probably gained currency because of Drag Race, but they define it in Paris Is Burning, so the term probably dates from the 70s.

That makes sense!

I mean, c'mon. Does the world need semi-aquatic rodents?

So you probably don't want to know about the ones that can fly, then?
