What ARE Shenanigans?

[FleshMasher]

I read this word so often but i can't quite figure out what it means by context.
Can anyone tell me what they are?

 

[jadilla]

hmm...i guess you could say they are actions taken by people that would appear abnormal or outlandish.

Shenanigans = cheap stuff or weird stuff. It can really be used for either.

If a moveset for a character is just plain BROKE... you can say that character is Shenanigans.

If a player is doing crazy stuff for the sake of being a retard, you can say he is committing Shenanigans.

 

[FleshMasher]

So it's a very stretchable term. Thanks for the explanation.

Wow. straight to the point.
Oh well, guess my Iron-fist possession can be considered Shenanigans.
But they're fun.

When you get ringed out on that rotating platform stage - hit a statue at the exact same time but still be in the match with your health even though the ring out title has passed over. thats Shenanigans.. escpecially when it happens twice.
