Rochester Shake

An idiosyncratic tendency characterized by the combination of the rapid horizontal shaking of one's head and the simultaneous twitching of one or both hands. The Rochester Shake is used almost exclusively when one is expressing disagreement or displeasure, however in combination with a dropped jaw, it can also express exasperation.

When someone contested the fact that George "has never done a lab", George defended his statement while engaging in a classic Rochester Shake.

ankle shakes

The most honorable way to consecrate a promise. Breaking an ankle shake is like breaking a pinky promise but 100 times worse. If you ankle shake on something you mean it and your promise can't be broken by any means

Joe: Dude Cindy didn't ankle shake on that did she?

Frank: Yeah she did bro, there's no breaking ankle shakes!!

Shake

A so called untouchable in IRAQ, person with an ID that can't be F'd with by our Marines.

That fucking Shake is hiding something but we can't touch him due to his "Shake" status"

waist-shake

Japanese slang for sexual intercourse. Often used with repeated, exaggerated pelvic thrusting.

"Waist-shake?" I innocently and stupidly asked. This absolutely set them OFF, as they started pelvic-thrusting their way across the soccer field.
