During a cigarette break at McKinsey's:
A: I haven't seen Bob in a while.
B: Yeah, he quit. Sells burgers for McDonald's now.
A: What? Is he nuts?
B: Yeah, Bob is a real downshifter. Sold his BMW, sold his house and is working part time now. Broke up with Linda too. She was high maintenance, all right. Says he is happy now; has all the time in the world.

downshifters

People who had a good professional job and (usually) a house which had significantly increased in value - but then they realised that by selling the house and moving to another (usually rural, far cheaper) area of the country, they could 'downshift' their lives and yet still have a small fortune in the bank + less stress, less work, more time with the family, more money.

I know a couple who downshifted from their £2.1m house in London. She was in teaching, he was an accountant. Now they run a great little art gallery during the summer in the wilds of the Derbyshire Peak District, and just make art and teach their kids for most of the year."

Dirty Downshift

The act of switching your penis from the vagina to the rectum and reducing thrusting speed. I.E. downshifting in a standard truck.

Last night Ryan did the dirty downshift on me. He didn’t even have to lube up.

"When I downshift, demons can be heard. Yes I own a Hellcat."
"Ima drop a gear and disappear." *Downshift*.
