The little double-lines on either side of certain words used to indicate the existence of air quotes, when typing out what someone said.
He said he was "sorry", but I know he wasn't. (Note the pixel quotes)
When my boss told me he would need me to work "some" weekends, I didn't realize he meant "all" weekends. (Two pixel quotes in one sentence!)

When I successfully did a glitch on Yoshi's Island, I got a whole bunch of pixel vomit on the television screen from it. Man, what a weird sight!

Oh jeez, look at Steve, he's been fiddling at the position of that button for 52 hours now. I think he is stuck in pixel paranoia.

This is a definition most understood by photographers. Pixel shift is a double entendre. It refers to Photoshopping an image and shifting the pixels around to enhance the image. It also refers to the time of day that this usually occurs. A pixel shift isn't done during normal business hours but rather it runs late through prime time, party time and early morning.
A pixel shift usually occurs when there is a crunch or deadline that needs to be met at all costs. That cost is usually a lack of sleep for the photographer and stretches through the evening.

I have been pixel shifting all week, I am taking next week off.
I can get those images edited in time but it will be a pixel shift to do get it done.
