The act of stopping during a road trip for the sole purpose of shuffling passengers and drivers either within one car or across multiple cars in the convoy.
The reasons for a Tomah Shuffle vary and include but are not limited to: foul odor, fatigue, quarreling between passengers, payload issues, excessive banter, or because one was scheduled.
The origins of the name come from an abnormally cool late summer day. The boys were in the middle of the five hour trek from Milwaukee on their way to Minneapolis to visit LEGO land at mall of America as well as a round of mini golf if time allowed. Since it was lunch time. The boys decided to stop in Tomah, Wisconsin and visit the Kentucky Fried Chicken buffet to sample the local fare. However, to the disappointment of the boys, the buffet was taken out during a remodel prior to their arrival. Since there was no other reason to spend any amount of time in Tomah, the boys decided to get back into the car and continue their journey. Due to the excitement and later devastation caused by the buffet, the boys forgot their seating arrangement and had to make a new one on the spot, thus the Tomah Shuffle was born.

Since we were four hours into our nine hour drive and I was getting too tired to drive, we decided to pull onto the Casey’s general store parking lot and pull of a Tomah Shuffle to choose a new driver so it was safe to continue the 30 mile drive to the nearest kwik trip where we could stop and buy some coffee and Mac and cheese before finishing the journey.

Get the Tomah Shufflemug. This term refers to the extreme lag and latency often present in the PvP portion of every game made by From Software, such as the Dark Souls series and Elden Ring. (Miyazaki being the name of the creator of these: Miyazaki Hidetaka)
Mild latency and lag in these types of games are usually bearable and a slight inconvenience, however the moment you're connected to a Host that lives on Mars or from the other side of the universe (and also happen to be a Wi-Fi Warrior) then you'll start seeing some real shit!
Your opponent's Character Model will start sliding all over the place while locked in a constant A-Pose and all you can do is just swing your weapon around wildly praying that your hits will connect before the Host can kill you.

Random1: I just got summoned into this Host's world and everyone is sliding around without attacking!
Random2: Good ol' Miyazaki Shuffle.

Get the Miyazaki Shufflemug. The process of transferring between subway lines at Kennedy station in Scarborough, a borough of Toronto, Canada. Both subway lines 2 (Bloor-Danforth) and 3 (Scarborough) end at Kennedy and transferring between them requires a rather long walk including 3 flights of stairs. This inconvenient process has become an infamous staple of commuting to and from the east end of the city and is one of the many examples of how much rapid transit infrastructure in Scarborough has failed to improve.

Get the Louisiana Shufflemug. When you put your iPod (or some other type of mp3) on shuffle, and it plays some songs by the same artist at least 2 times in a row. Or if the songs start playing in Alphabetical Order after the device is put on shuffle.
I went to the party to hear some great music, but Bill's iPod had a Shuffle Fail, so everyone got tortured and had to listen to Lady Gaga for 3 hours straight. It was horrible.

Get the Shuffle Failmug. The lack of motor skills, balance, and peripheral vision as well as sidewalk weaving displayed by someone walking down a busy street while talking on a cellphone.
This guy in front of me is doing the cellphone shuffle and I can't pass him because he's weaving all over the place.
