When riding the subway or metro and a person loses their footing because of the jerky movements of the train when it comes to a stop. This usually happens when people have their hands full with bags or are too busy using their phones to hold the handrails. This sometimes results in the person scrambling to not fall over but more often ends with them crashing in to other commuters and causing a commotion.
Dude, put down your phone before you end up doing the subway shuffle.

Get the Subway Shuffle mug.
The dance of people that work at subway. This dance consists of taking a few steps forward spinning around then cutting the bread you ordered for your sandwich in half.
