A fork of Rural Dictionary
The act of continuing to date a girl you want to break up with while you start dating a new girl. It usually occurs because you either don't't know how to break up with your girlfriend, or because you want insurance in case the new girlfriend doesn't work out. The period of overlap is like the way shingles overlap on a roof.
John's was shingling with Alice until he finds a way to break up with Mary.
a substitute for shit in a situation where you can't curse words. e.g. a high school sporting event, a youth soccer game. (very useful when you have gotten halfway to making a curse word mistake, a faux pas, shit morphs into shingle quite naturally.)
Don't think you sound odd, you sound polite in front of other people's kids.
Oh my, shingle, that was a horrible call.
Shingle. Shingle. Shingle.
Holy shingle. You gotta be kidding me.
