Indie Shuffle

a type of dance. Popular at the height of the resurgence of guitar-led groups around the turn of the Millennium (The Strokes, Libertines, etc), though still going strong today. It involves awkwardly dancing just about enough so as to avoid any attention based on correctly held assumptions of your character, principally that you would rather be sitting down and/or cannot dance. Often practised in bad clubs on cheap alcoholic drinks whilst not talking to pretty girls. It usually backfires when the aforementioned cheap alcohol really kicks in and you either try to talk to a pretty girl or start a mosh-pit to Blondie and are thrown out of the premises.

Dave was doing the indie shuffle to The Smiths "How Soon Is Now" whilst staring at a girl he had no chance with when he inadvertently spilt someone's beer and ended up on the floor crying like Morrissey in an abattoir.

21 shuffle

On a person's 21st birthday, they spend the night shuffling from one bar to another, drinking one shot of alcohol at each bar, until 21 bars have been visited. The person proceeds to write the name of their shuffle on the bar walls. This originated at Ohio University, where students would start at The Cat's Den.

B-Man Shuffle

A defensive tactic that can be employed in an intoxicated streetfight against multiple sober opponents. Your belt is removed and thrown away, and your pants are dropped completely to your ankles. You then waddle up to the fight like a penguin with fists raised in "fighting irish" position. No one wants to fight a drunk naked man, and a slow getaway follows.

Poke and Shuffle

When a skier is mimicking a style of skiing made popular in the 1980's. This particular style is very similar to what was known as parallel skiing, which has now been deemed out of date and very uncool with the advent of shaped skis. One can identify this style if a skier has a their skis together, is putting pressure on the back of the skis, has a ridiculous amount of body rotation, flails their poles about in a wide radius, and is wearing brightly colored one-piece ski suits also from the 1980's.
