"to ship" is official now! :))

[amodalie]

How awesome is that?!

This month the verb "to ship" officially made it into the renowned Oxford English Dictionary. Not only that!
The example of how to use it is this quote: "I'll always ship Sherlock and Molly."
Awwwww!!! I know for a fact that at least one person on my flist will LOVE this.
Righto, my dear Naughty Minxie? *wink wink*

Awww ♥

Me being me, I wish they had used Mulder/Scully as an example since I think the word started to be used with them (?) or Steed/Mrs Peel because Steed and Mrs Peel are always a good example, but still... Awww ♥

[amodalie]

Awww indeed :) And awwww to your lovely icon! ♥

To be honest, there would be plenty of great examples. I would have been perfectly ok with Mulder and Scully or Steed and Mrs Peel. Personally my mind goes straight to Kirk/Spock when thinking about the early times of fandom and shipping - though I know that's "just" the beginning of slash.

Hmm, does the Oxford talk about that?! *goes looking up slash* :D

I really think that's cool :D
hehe...
Took them long enough :P

[amodalie]

Slowly, but unstoppably, the world of fandom is creeping into the real word! :D Good!

And how marvellous that Sherlock/Molly was the example they quoted?!! Looks like they shied away from Sherlock/John thought... ;)

I'm pretty sure that a certain Naughty Minxie loved this, even if she was a bit miffed about Mary Watson this afternoon!! Heeee!!

Thanks for sharing, Our Shirl! ♥

[heliokleia]

Hehe... yup; you're absolutely right here, o beloved Mme Leading Minx of ours!

[tuesdaeschild]

*pets still-miffed NJM soothingly* There, there, darling. I can see you're still a bit cross! (see icon!) *huggles* ♥

You have a good week too, P. Auntie!

[amodalie]

Still miffed? Oh dear... *joins P.Momma in the soothing petting* Meanwhile I'm still waiting for the re-run on our TV this weekend, so that I can put more attention to the fact that is upsetting you so much.

:-* Bussi!
