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.

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."

Lunch Shift Friend

A coworker who you friend during the lunch shift because both of your real friends normally work dinner. When dinner shift arrives, you go your separate ways and do not acknowledge each other.

I realized we were only lunch shift friends when dinner shift arrived and she basically ignored me.

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.

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.

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*
