Shatner Shift

An involuntary gesture characterized mainly by a shoulder twitch and outstretched palms of the hand. Always accompanied with a Shatner pause. The gesture received its namesake from William Shatner's portrayal of Captain James T. Kirk in Star Trek, who incorporated this into the character.

Can also be applied in real world situations to bring emphasis to an upcoming statement.

Full Shatner

When you're dancing totally normal, and you hear a song that gets your mojo movin'...so you bust some sick, over-exaggerated dance moves (example: flailing arms, throwing yourself around the room, etc)

"Holy fuck, did you see Joey on the dance floor last night at that bat mitzvah? He went Full Shatner! I've never seen him cut rug like that. Bitch can bust a move."
