Shifting baselines are the chronic, slow, hard-to-notice changes in things, from the disappearance of birds and frogs in the countryside to the increased drive time from New York to Philadelphia.
If your ideal weight used to be 180 pounds and now it's 195, your baseline -- as well as your waistline -- has shifted. That's an example of shifting baselines.

Yo, I want to hit up that sweet concert but I have to work. Good thing I have this Shift Trading app so somebody can cover me.

Blaming someone else for your own stank ass farts, not only your stank ass farts but blaming for your smelly feet
insighting others to assume guilt upon another person for your stink.
insighting others to assume guilt upon another person for your stink.
farting in a crowd of people and sniff shifting to the chick with the skirt on to make everyone think she did it and say,"dont look at me like that ! you know you did it stinky bitch!" Little does the crowd of people know ...you just sniff shifted.
"smells like skank in here" said the sniff shifted in a sly blame-trillequism

Persona Shifting A Persona Shift is somewhere between assuming a mood and the personality of their animal. Some Were Creatures have a separate persona for their "wereside", the different personae may even have memories attached to them that other persona's don't have (i.e. other persona's can't remember that event). Different personae often have different outlooks on the world, different skills, and other things like that. Learning to recognize different personae that you shift into (if you are a persona shifter) can be very beneficial in learning to extricate yourself from the mess and confusion that persona shifting can easily cause, and knowledgeable persona shifting can be beneficial, such as shifting into a persona that is calm and level-headed in a dangerous situation or shifting into a persona, at the right time, that knows how to write very well to ensure straight A's in English.
