McCain Shuffle

Reversing all of one's previous political positions in a last-ditch effort to be nominated for President by a major political party.

Usually happens to a once-principled Republican who sells his or her soul to the fringe right to survive the primary process at the end of his or her career.
Romney really pulled a McCain Shuffle--first he was for an individual mandate, then abandoned RomneyCare when it looked like it might hurt his candidacy.

The Berkley Shuffle

A dance that is done at Berkley High School in Berkley, Michigan.

This dance is always played as the last number at Homecoming, Prom, or etc. It's cue starts when Mr. Daas sings "Freshmen! Sophomores!" in the Berkley Rally Song. At that point, you hit your pelvis region and then throw your hands in the air and make a 'lasso' motion.

In order to perform this dance, everyone MUST be wearing eyeliner and have their hair in a perm.
Wow, that The Berkley Shuffle really hurt my pelvis.

sprinter shuffle

Designed for sprinters to feign as if they are really working during a long run or warm-up laps, but in reality are just moving their arms in perfect sprinter form, and are moving at an extremely slow pace (an easy jog). When seen from a distance, a coach will be very proud of his sprinters. This saves energy and is characteristic of all sprinters once they get smart enough to utilize this tool.
Freshman: Phew, warm-up laps suck.
Sprint Captain: You actually ran that? Fail. Learn the sprinter shuffle.
