*** And SamxLucifer is Samifer, SamxGabriel is Samriel, SamxCastiel is Sassy (yes, we know it doesn't make sense--it's the jokey, light-hearted pairing in all of that ''angst)''. There isn't one yet for the foursomes, though.

*** [[{{Yu-Gi-Oh The Abridged Series}} The above]] voiced a comic that mentioned Psychoshipping which is...less beautiful to indulge. It makes more sense than Thiefshipping, but still. Trauma. (Psychoshipping is Florence x Melvin, in case you were wondering.) It's aptly named.

* The ''Touhou'' fandom came up with a number of appropriate titles or description for different pairings. An interesting subversion is made on this case; rather than just using the title itself, the fans actually tag it behind the respective [[PortmanteauCoupleName Portmanteau Couple Names]] to form a phrase. For example, "Mariali is [[OneTruePairing my justice]]" for Marisa/Alice, "Yukareimu is my way" for Yukari/Reimu, "Mokokeine is the reign of god" for Mokou/Keine, and so on. These are widely used among Japanese ''Touhou'' fans and are recognized as creative ways to say a certain pairing is their [[OneTruePairing OTP]].

** There's also Dover in the Japanese fandom for England/France (which in the Western fandom is usually called FrUK). The name refers to the strait of Dover, the narrowest place to cross the Channel.

*** Additionally, it's only "Wincest" if Red Spy is Blu Scout's father. You can have a non-incest RED Spy/BLU Scout pairing, because RED Spy fathering BLU Scout has neither been confirmed or denied by Valve.

** And [=HipHuggers=] (Eric/Calleigh, and [=CaRWash=] (Calleigh/Ryan).

*Some from the {{Vocaloid}} fandom refer to Kaito/Len as 'Banana Split', due to their respective character items of ice cream and bananas (although it does make one wonder if the former is a {{Shotacon}}, Len being 14 with Kaito at an estimated 21, and is somewhat parodied in the aptly named ''Shotarella'').

* Standard practice in the ''{{Megatokyo}}'' fandom is to refer to a ship by the first initials of the characters, separated an "x" (e.g. Piro/Miho -> [=PxM]=, Piro/Kimiko -> [=PxK=], Largo/Erika -> [=LxM=], etc).

* ''SchoolRumble''--a giant LoveDodecahedron--naturally has a number of factions, mostly named after key scenes the characters shared. Eri/Harmia is the "Flag Faction", because their interactions so often resemble "flag" events from {{Dating Sim}}s. Yakumo/Harima is the "Onigiri Faction", because of the onigiri Yakumo offered to Harima. Other factions include the Kids Meal Faction ([[{{OT3}} Eri/Yakumo/Harima]]), Oudou/"Correct Path" Faction (Tenma/Harima), True Oudou (Tenma/Karasuma), Flue Faction (Mikoto/Hanai), and Basketball Faction (Mikoto/Asou)
