Jersey Shift

1. When you get onto the highway and immediately shift across all lanes of traffic in one full motion.

2. When you shift lanes underneath a light.

Paul: Hold on, I’m going for a Jersey Shift.
Cali: That’s the only way to drive.

Mid-shift crisis

Essentially a mid-life crisis, but scaled down in a single work day, where everything is going wrong.

Real life example (for context I work at a restaurant)
Me: "We are out of napkins, the silverware is empty, and a tiny child is running around in the buffet area with no parent to be found. I am having a mid-shift crisis right now."

Shift

Basically sticking your tongue in someone’s mouth and hoping for the best. Kissing someone but in a non-romantic way, unless you want it to be. A common place for a shift, also known as a meet is at an Irish teenage disco.

Here, will ya shift me friend there?

the great shift

The era when watching anime became socially cool in spring 2025, marking the end of hiding for anime fans.

I was watching anime back when it was socially ostracized before the great shift.

truckers gear shift

It's when an artist or band is trying to make their song just a little bit longer, but have no additional lyrics. So they sing the chorus another time or two in a higher octave.

REM is notorious for doing this.

You can tell John ran out of lyrics, cuz he hit the truckers gear shift like he was headed east on the 10.

shift and stretch

An inside joke between me and my best friend, Ariel. Its when your sitting down and you become aroused, you shift your body around a bit and stretch your arms over your head. If anyone else knows whatever the Hell your doing, smile evilly!

*Sees Benji and Joel close*...*shift stretch*
