The first time a naval vessel sails upon construction completion begins its initial shakedown cruise only to suffer catastrophic failure and sinks.
Not to be confused with other types of maiden voyages disasters such as the Titanic crashing into an iceberg or the Bismarck being scuttled on a bluff.

The naval ship Vasa suffered a Swedish Shakedown as it was built too top heavy and overloaded with cannons causing it to capsize in a slight breeze.

When a couple has sex in a new vessel, vehicle or trailer under the guise of an inspection trip. No other passengers allowed.
Funny, Luke and Laura stopped at the porn shop, before heading out of town on their self described shakedown cruise in their new RV.

This is when you pay a prostitute for sex. When she demands money and you don’t have it, there’s a phone call. That’s why the guy walks in. It is not fun from here. He basically just beats your ass until you have money. Gotta figure it out.
Hey Spen! Iwas trying to load up two prostitues and stiff them for the cash. Then some big bald bubble head came in and gave me The Panama City Shakedown. So he’s got a gun in my ass right now and I need 30 bucks...

Yesterday, I paid a nice lady for a good ol' fashioned Tennessee Shakedown. Might go for another today.
