(Sham ē) Someone who looks good in their profile picture, but when met in real life actually looks ugly. Derived from the word sham: a thing that is not what it is purported to be; bogus; false. This is usually a girl who - due to makeup, lighting, or angle - looks very good in her chosen picture, but when met in real life looks nothing like the posted picture. A feeling of having been cheated usually washes over the shamy's victims. It is as if one makes their way to a dealership to buy a Lamborghini, but instead walks away with a Honda. The shamy may not have intended to perform the horrendous act, but none the less, the strife they cause those who fall prey to their deceit is all too real. Help stop shamyism. Stop sending and posting pictures which are unrealistic portrayals of yourself, and,hopefully, future generations will not have to suffer the strife of shamyism as so many in the past have.
