Shot

Shot is a general term used on the Internet, from the past tense of the verb to shoot. It is especially used for someone to indicate that they have acted in a way that could or likely did annoy others, such as when someone has acted like a fanboy or fangirl. It is usually presented in the form of an action, for instance *shot* or -shot-, either as interrupting the user in mid-sentence (when what they were about to say is clear) or after their full message.
The word itself is a reference to shooting somebody with a gun. In other words, it is used as an exaggeration of the annoyance of others, who would proceed to shoot the user.
==Fad state==
In December 2007, a minor fad began going around in the Tales of Eternia fanclubs of the Forum Games forum, whereby users would be shot by Coreena, a character from the Tales of Eternia anime, for every instance of fanboy or fangirl behavior. The origin of this fad is unclear, although it is known that Aelph had a part in its propagation.
