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.

A major change. (Seismology is the study of earthquakes.) The implication is that the change being described is so significant that the earth will move under your feet. Like paradigm shift, this phrase has become overused marketing hype.

John discovered that his keys had experienced a reality shift. He found them right where he'd looked to begin with when he noticed they were missing -- in the very spot where he knew for sure they hadn't been, just a moment before.
