bridge shift

The phrase that you say when referring to work in a non-ironic way. On completion of said phrase, the speaker (and possibly those within earshot) immediately cease to listen and concentrate on what the phrase itself means. This process generally includes context abuse, giggling, and later, regret.

"I'm sort of a bridge shift between liasons."

skank shift

A waitstaff shift occurring during a late weekday night, ie: Midnight to six a.m. on a Wednesday. Named so because these are the less-desirable (lower-paying) shifts usually worked by the less-desirable (aesthetically-challenged) servers. Term popularized in the movie "Swingers."

There aren't going to be any hot waitresses at the casino tonight; it's the Wednesday night skank shift.

right shift

the right shift button is probably one of the least used buttons on the keyboard, people usually use the left shift cuz its easier to access.

Friend: Am I the only person who actually uses the right shift?

Me: of course you are.
