The Paradigm Shift

In a general sense, a change happening on a vast scale. A shift in the big picture, if you will.

Specifically "The Paradigm Shift" refers to a certain oft discussed and theorized shift in social groups concerning several different intersecting social circles. The Paradigm Shift did not happen within the originally proposed timeline of the spring of 2008, but new evidence has come to light suggesting that The Paradigm Shift may still be happening, just on a larger timeline and consisting of not exactly the same changes as earlier expected.

"The Paradigm Shift" may still come to manifest itself in the first quarter of 2009.

2. I think my piece of shit dealer just gave me the Harvard Shift...

crap shifting

Passing your crap to a family member, friend or other party. Furniture, appliances, toys, clothing - most of the stuff we have is crap we don't need and eventually crap we don't want. So we shift it to someone else to make room for new crap.

To make room for new furniture, we'll need to do some crap shifting. Maybe your cousin will take the sofa.

Do we really need four kayaks? Maybe we can crap shift a couple to your brother for his family to use.

D shift

The red head step children of the fire dept. If you like days off while working, D shift is the best fit for you. The installment of D shift was to give the other 3 much needed rest for carrying the dept. If your house is on fire, better hope D shift isn’t working.

D shift must be working...The rig is dirty and barely any fuel.

I tweaked my back, I’m gonna switch to d shift for few months!
