Red-Shift

An overdose of viagra. Enough that your penis bulges at almost twice its normal size and almost bursts. It is called 'red-shift', as all the blood shifts into that dick. A play on the physicist term, which is the changing frequency of light.

Ah shit, I feel light-headed. 4 pills was too many. I think I'm gettin' a red-shift.

seismic shift

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.

In just the last century, there has been a seismic shift in the treatment of women in this country.
