Official name for the gay romantic pairing of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson. Also known as
Shwatsonlock.
Usually used in reference to the modern BBC series 'Sherlock': with Benedict Cumberbatch and
Martin Freeman, or Guy
Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes movies starring Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law.
Many loyal supporters believe that there is enough hinting and innuendos to prove the pairing as cannon.
Girl 1: "did you see
Sherlock last night?!"
Girl 2: "yes! They are so cute together!"
Girl 1: "Do you ship Johnlock too?"
Girl 2: "Duh. It's totally a
cannon pairing!"
