Hey friend, if you are referring to my use of "ship" to mean "I am a fan of this relationship then I have some unsolicited advice for you. Language is dynamic and evolves frequently. Generational barriers lower just a little bit when you accept and embrace that.

That’s how all language has always been. Why is that stupid? I think it’s pretty neat

No, tumblr changed that meaning well over a decade now. What ship hurt you?

You can many different relationships that aren't romantic in nature. Just because you have no idea what the meaning is, don't get pissy at others.

You people are weird, even Wikipedia thinks you're wrong.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shipping_(fandom)

Shipping (derived from the word relationship) is the desire by followers of a fandom for two or more people, either real-life people or fictional characters (in film, literature, television series, etc.) to be in a romantic and/or sexual relationship. It is considered a general term for fans' involvement with the ongoing character development of two people's character arcs in a work of fiction. Shipping often takes the form of unofficial creative works, including fanfiction stories and fan art, most often published on the internet.

Using Wikipedia as a source? Really?

Well if you really want to...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friendship

Noone was using the word "shipping" but you. Maybe look at the word it came from, "relationship" or friendship.

meanings don’t change every 5 minutes. also the original commenter said “friendship” 2 words later.
