Ice-T Just Asked 'Law & Order: SVU' Fans 'WTF Does Ship Mean??'—And He Instantly Regretted It

Ice-T is a successful rapper and actor, considered a legend, married to Miss Coco, who is a certified baddie - overall life seems like it worked out for him, so regret might not be a feeling he's been dealing with much these days.

If there's anything that will make you instantly regret every choice you've ever made in your life, it's asking Twitter to explain something to you. Oh, you'll get your answer ... but at what cost?

Ice found himself tweeting back and forth with some fans of Law & Order: SVU - Ice-T plays Fin Tutuola - about other characters in the show. People wanted his opinions on some popular "ships."

Now - here is the point at which things get fun. If you, like the fans, understand what a "ship" is, you could move onto the next sentence and continue the article with no problems.

If you, like Ice-T, do not understand what a "ship" is then you're probably very confused about why Law & Order: SVU fans have such passionate opinions about boats.
