You, my dear, are in great luck because the origin story of everything that will give you your life, including but not limited to a compendium of slang, specifically Black/queer slang, is currently streaming on Netflix. Go forth and prosper.
We did all pile on, didn’t we? I’m sorry for all the shade coming your way, but your life will be so much richer for knowing the difference and how to wield it. I’m glad you have a sense of humor about this.

No no no. Shade is like when you get a sunburn without direct exposure and a burn is like standing in the sun for 4 hours without sunblock with no protection whatsoever. Shade is nuanced, indirect, discreet. It can take hours to realize you've been burned. A burn is direct, unapologetic, and out in the open. You know…
A burn is like a super duper clever comeback. It does not leave room for any guess work. You got told. A shade is more like the sophisticated cousin of the backhanded compliment, where it’s not really a compliment but something that leaves you wondering “did they or didn’t they?”. At least that’s how I see it.
lol, it’s like I don’t even know where to start

Angelic? That’s the look of evil right there!
In Soviet Russia, server hit on you.
I approve this list and it is almost enough to make me forgive you for your pizza topping rankings.
