Computing sense - shim is a common enough term, but I can't find any sources for shiv meaning the same thing. Keith the Koala (talk) 21:55, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

for "pejorative"[edit]
I've seen this word used on a few right-wing websites where it appears to mean pejorative or insult. I'm haven't found an actual definition anywhere. Example:
It’s the shiv du jour, you see. As shivs go, it is in this ‘umble narrator’s opinion one of the more lethal of the semantic shanks employed by dark realists.

From context I suspect it's a new-ish metaphorical usage that hasn't yet become widespread. / edg ☺ ☭ 16:34, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
