Just when you thought you’ve seen or done it all, an up-and-coming internet trend, designed exclusively for expert global social media afficionados, manifests to show the world what you’re made of.
Welcome to the SHAFTSHIFT challenge.
A challenge poster paints his or her shaft silver or grey with appropriate makeup or paint, then places an automobile stick shift boot over the painted shaft to cover up the 2 nuts secured to the bottom end of the shaft. A black colored racquetball, or the likes, is placed over the head of the shaft to completely conceal the flanged terminal as a shift knob. If installed properly, the shift knob and shift boot will leave only the silver colored shaft visually exposed. (non-discernable appendage) A gloved hand then proceeds to “run through the gears”, to the dubbed sound of an actual audio recording of a manual-transmission shift cycle. (driving or fingerless style gloves are recommended) This should start from idle and go through all available gears to the highest gear audibly discernable. If successfully accomplished, recorded and posted, this qualifies the poster to hashtag as a #shaftshift post. If equipped with a longer bus or truck style gearstick, the poster is allowed to also grip under the shift knob with a gloved second hand, in attempt to qualify for a #doubleclutch identifier as well.

I'm sick of internet girls getting all the attention with their moundpacking and cameltoe posts. I will show them up with a shaft shift they cannot even compete with!

An exaggeratedly wordy jargon, frequently spoken in a mono-tone passive voice. Descriptive yet extremely vague, this is used when describing a situation in order to increase the appearance of intelligence or credibility, while cloaking truth in a mountain of syllables.

An ignorant & dissonant state of human existence, where the individual has little knowledge, experience or desire to learn about objective reality or the magnitude of weight the immutable laws of the universe have on everything in existence. Those individuals subject to EUS have their existence completely and unknowingly governed and programmed by socially contrived parameters of “reality”, which in turn render them helpless to navigate “life” in any other state than being an “end user” of products, methods, services created by those employing objective reality. (STEM)
A ubiquitous example is computer technology which has and rendered the world reliant on these devices. Accolades, status, credibility, and power are regularly given to those who simply “use” the devices to document self-jocking, mediocre and un-innovative behavior, which caters only to emotions aligned with the subjectively fabricated parameters of “reality”. This completely overshadows and discounts the tremendous amount of knowledge and understanding which goes into the ideation, creation and production of the devices. This example extends back to mining and refining the materials from the earth, or even further back to how the elements were initially formed. The same can be said about every consumer good in existence. The end user only knows how to Acquire and CONSUME. This is analogous to a monkey picking a banana from a tree and having no knowledge of its origin or subsequent fate once ingested.

End user syndrome ignorance most often times causes the subject to assign hokus-pokery causality to objective reality and natural phenomenon, such as "religion" and "supernatural occurrence".
Some ends users are even touted as “experts” yet are oblivious to anything outside the scope of their parameters of use.
End user syndrome has resulted in an pandemic unparalleled by any other preventable and controllable condition, objective or subjective, in documented history.
Hey Tony, the entire middle of the bell curve has End User Syndrome. It's certainly lonely at the right side of that curve.
