When you and another person come up to a path (like an intersection, a doorway, or a narrow hallway) where only one person can go, and you politely tell them to “go ahead” and they say “no, no, you go ahead” and then you both wait, and then go at the same time thinking that the other person will not concede, and you repeat this at least one more time.
Two drivers pull up to opposite sides of a 4-way stop at the same time. One is turning left, the other is going straight. The person going straight signals to left turn person to “go ahead”, while at the same time, the person turning left signals to the person going straight to “go ahead”. They signal back and forth and then wait, and eventually concede at the same time. They laugh and repeat the polite shuffle at least once more.

Get the starbucks shufflemug. Occurs after a long night of drinking and is often coupled with a hangover. Characterized by a general aching sensation in the lower back area, particularly around the kidneys.
"Man, last night was a shitshow! I got so drunk and I think I made out with the horse. I'm paying for it today, I've got a nasty hangover and I am doing the Kidney Shuffle."

Get the kidney shufflemug. The Calgary Shuffle is a redundant, hazardous, but amusing move when someone changes lanes, usually without indicating, and then changing back to the same lane within a short period for no apparent reason. This also applies to someone who is bad at shuffling cards or when a person backtracks because they were going in the wrong direction or changed their mind such as in a competitive game.
Traffic is crazy today, everyone is doing the Calgary Shuffle.

Get the A Shuffle childmug. This is the way to walk amongst ferns in the forest as to not make any sound or rustling to alert anyone or anything that you are there. It is done by using the outside of your leg and ankle to push or “swish” the fern to the side while taking a step forward, alternating legs to keep yourself walking forward. This allows you to see and avoid twigs or other things under the fern which may cause a sound to be made.
