Definder - what does the word mean?

What is shinys?

Used by fans of the TV (short lived) show Firefly, to describe an idea/something that one likes (instead of saying brilliant, awesome, cool, neat, rad...?).

Shiny is used especially if the idea or thing is new or bright. Not used so much to describe old things or things that look old.

That big damn movie Serenity was so shiny!
