Talk:shiv

RFV discussion: July–October 2015
Computing sense - shim is a common enough term, but I can't find any sources for shiv meaning the same thing. Keith the Koala (talk) 21:55, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

for "pejorative"
I've seen this word used on a few right-wing websites where it appears to mean pejorative or insult. I'm haven't found an actual definition anywhere. Example: It’s the shiv du jour, you see. As shivs go, it is in this ‘umble narrator’s opinion one of the more lethal of the semantic shanks employed by dark realists.

&mdash; "Roissy", in Chateau Heartiste From context I suspect it's a new-ish metaphorical usage that hasn't yet become widespread. / edg ☺ ☭ 16:34, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
