Shifting realities is where you change your reality. What i mean is that you can script how you want a certain life, and then you can practice trying to move your subconsciousness to that reality. It is a really fun topic, and you should give it a go sometime!
Did you hear about that new thing going around? It's called shifting realities!
Oh, that's cool! I will try it sometime!

An overdose of viagra. Enough that your penis bulges at almost twice its normal size and almost bursts. It is called 'red-shift', as all the blood shifts into that dick. A play on the physicist term, which is the changing frequency of light.

An incomplete and wholly unsatisfying bowel movement resulting from irregular work/sleep patterns which counter the body's natural circadian rhythm.
Hey Bobby, my gut really aches you got any metamucil? After switching from midnights to days all I managed to squeak out this morning was a meagre shift shit.

1. after receiving a text, intentionally waiting a certain period of time to text back to make it seem like one is either too busy, not interested, or just not over-eager.
2. when on tour, driving a few extra hours in the van on the way to the show in order to avoid the sunrise shift on the upcoming overnight drive.

A work shift where the workers have eight hours (or less) between the time they get off of work and their next shift. Named this way because workers who are put into this situation are usually overworked and underpaid by their boss and would rather be dead than be forced to be overworked by a company that doesn't give a shit about them. Two notable cases occurred in July 2021 with the Frito-Lays company and in August 2021 with Nabisco. Unfortunately, this has become more common since the COVID-19 pandemic started
"One of the most contentious issues throughout the bargaining process, according to union leaders, has been the regular use of forced overtime at the plant that results in so-called 'suicide shifts' where "'many of the more than 800 workers at the plant are only getting an eight-hour break between shifts."'

"Alongside low pay, treatment of employees is coming to the surface. Workers at Frito-Lay—which also exceeded its profit goals during the pandemic—went on strike for three weeks this summer, citing concerns over forced overtime, 100-degree plus conditions, and 'suicide shifts.' The workers were successful in ending the practice of assigning the grueling 12-hour shifts, which took place less than 8 hours apart...Parent conglomerate Mondelez International angered employees when it proposed turning eight-hour shifts into 12-hour ones without overtime."
