    Touché

    No, because there is no such word as shipping in that context?!

    I absolutely hate all the shipping nonsense in fairness, it's practically swallowed up the IMDB messageboards, I can't see it taking too much of a foothold here though...

    From the wiki article:
    The activity of fans creating relationships out of some or most of the cast of characters far predates the term. Though "ship" is undoubtedly a derivative of the word "relationship", where and when it was first used to indicate involvement with fictional romance is unclear. However, the archives of the newsgroup X-files show that the word "shipper" was already in established use among fans of The X-Files as early as May 1996 [1]

    I remember it being used in the X-Files context back then when the interwebs were less shiny and more new, I feel old now :(
