Porte Shuffle

To habitually sway back and forth awkwardly while maintaining a conversation. During the Porte Shuffle one usually looks diagonally at the ground, away from who the conversation is with. Sentences should be started with a giggle or awkward laugh to maintain a true Porte Shuffle.
I hate talking to Jordan, he always does the Porte Shuffle making things weird.

kansas city shuffle

A type of con which depends on the mark realizing they're being conned, but incorrectly guessing how it's being done. When they try to foil the fake con they think they've uncovered, they fall into the real con. This con is most effective against marks who are "too smart for their own good", and will try to beat the conman at his own game instead of backing off when they discover he's trying to con them.

Named after the song by J Ralph. There are two Kansas Cities, and while one is in Kansas, the larger, more well-known one is actually just across the river in Missouri. Somebody unfamiliar with the region might go to the smaller one when they really wanted to go to the larger one, because they made the assumption that "Kansas City is obviously in Kansas". The song uses this confusion as an analogy for the way a mark thinks when they're being conned by a Kansas City Shuffle-type con.
You look left and they fall right
Into the Kansas City Shuffle
Its a they-think you-think you don't know
Type of Kansas City hustle
Where you take your time
Wait your turn
And hang them up, and out to dry

Waupaca Shuffle

Leaving a bar, party, or any event especially those where alcohol is served without informing others in your party in an effort to avoid public scorn, ridicule, or abuse for leaving early.

A quality shuffle must be performed without others noticing until the shuffler is well on his/her way home. Seasoned shufflers have the ability to complete a shuffle, even under serious suspicion that they are doing so. While leaving early is frowned upon, a quality Waupaca Shuffle must be appreciated.
