Rob-shift

Verb: to shift directions, or roles very quickly ultimately leading to a better situation.

The situation shifted fast like a robbery. The inferior role was robbed, so the situation shifted.

The Great Shift

Usually referring to the positive change in public opinion on watching or enjoying anime as a whole. It’s debated on when exactly The Great Shift occurred, but it can most closely be linked to the 2020 lockdown, and the release of mega popular shows around that time, such as Jujutsu Kaisen and Demon Slayer.
Person 1: “Hey man, do you watch anime?”
Person 2: “I watched anime before The Great Shift, I used to be a loser, but it’s cool now.”

C-Shift

One of 3 Shifts to cover a 72 hour period within the Fire Department Schedule. Preceding A-Shift & following B-Shift.

Also known as “The Captains Shift”, though expected to perform 1/3 of equal work within the schedule, known to mostly not complete said work or even more often use said Captain as a “work shield” from drawing the ire of the other two shifts. Not as lazy or worthless as B-Shift, but usually less arrogant as A-Shift.
