radio friendly unit shifter

The grand Nirvana song on the album "In Utero" which contains tons of feedback and guitar muscle. There are many live videos of them performing the song (usually opening the concert with it).
"Radio Friendly" in music terms refers to a song being aired on a radio station that appeals to mainstream audiences.
"Unit Shifter" refers to a song that can sell copies of an album. Ironically it's the most aggressive song in the whole radio un-friendly album.

Radio Friendly Unit Shifter

Use just once and destroy
Invasion of our piracy
Afterbirth of a nation
Starve without your skeleton key

I love you for what I am not
I do not want what I have got
A blanket acne'ed with cigarette burns
Speak at once while taking turns

left handed smoke shifter

A combination of snipe hunting and to be given the runaround. Part of the phrase, " Go find me a left handed smoke shifter" This is to be said to one of the more gullible members of the group. That member is then sent on a fool's errand, running from campsite to campsite as the people at each campsite tell him, " No we don't have one, but I heard so and so has one." In other words; something that doesn't exist that is used to send someone on a fool's errand.

My older brother told me to get the "Biggie does Bach" CD. Turns out it was a left handed smoke shifter.

Shiet or Sheit.

Another way to say "shit," but with an elongated EE sound to it.

Friend: "Did you finish your project?"
Me: "No.."
Friend: "You know it's due tomorrow..."
Me: "Shiet (or sheit or sheeeeeeeeeee-it. The "i" is silent)

ego shift

The clicking noise you here behind you as the cyclist you just passed, changes gear in an attempt to catch you.

As I passed the lycra-clad, roadie on his carbon fibre racing bike, I heard him desperately ego shifting behind me.
