A loud, distinct single "POP!" sound during an upshift.
Cars that have this are one that are performance oriented with GMs 10 speed hydramatic like the Camaro, Corvette and CT4/5 V and V Blackwing, Genesis g70 and more.
Cars with upshift "farts," such as those using DSG, dual-clutch, ZF, etc., do not count.

I love the Teusz Shifts in my Cadillac V Series.

The need to reorganize a birthday celebration for someone who is too busy working or out of town on his or her birthday.
"Crap I'm going to be out of town on my birthday. I hope Sandra isn't going to mind pulling a birthday-shift for me."
"Don't worry, Chris, she's knows, she's hiding a present in the glove box of your car and she's got your real birthday planned for another day."

When the girls all want you to shake your dreads so you have to tell them to leave you alone type shift.
Ex: All the girls wanted Dae-ho to shake is dreads but he had other needs to attend to so he said, "Ladies, leave me alone type shift."
