Process drift

The gradual, often unconscious shift in a work process, system, or organizational behavior away from its original purpose—usually due to routine, habit, or the illusion of progress. Common in corporate, bureaucratic, or tech settings where the system just keeps running… because that’s what it does.

Cart Drifting

Cart Drifting is something where a person gets in a cart and is moving at the speed of a cart, but with STYLE. The movement of a cart is depended on and person to push/pull the cart, they can also use wind, a stick, magic or some type of water fueled engine that can move the cart. If you see two men in Black suits for the last one, you might wanna skedaddle

There are also different type of carts to cart that just right for Cart Drifting, Target carts for example are slick with there wheels allowing for the carts to be fast and loose,
Walmart carts on the other hand always have that on wheel on top right of the cart. You know the one, it swerves and squeaks a lot which makes the cart emotionally unstable and is the main cause for 45% of cart fatality rates. That doesn't mean it isn't possible to not Cart Drift on them.

Now that you know that it's awesome, go and Drift on them hoes.

The speaker may be having trouble communicating with their audience and not knowing how to better explain.

This is similar to "do you feel me?" or "do you get it?".

Otherwise there is a certain mentality and a certain consciousness along with what the speaker & the audience are generally known to understand.
