Drew Shortcut 

A shortcut that in the end proves almost no purpose. It is either so ridiculous that no one would ever use it, or it only saves a person one minute in a three hour car drive.
Dude, why did you just take that drew shortcut? It didn't save as any time.

Jersey Shortcut 

Jersey Shortcut – Second man in; or to “swoop” in on a situation where your buddy has already engaged in conversation with one or more women. It is not necessarily one’s intention to distract the girl your buddy is talking to, or to “CB” him, but to engage her friend in conversation as the “ice” has already been broken by your buddy. If, in fact, the girl your buddy is talking to seems more interested in you than him, it is acceptable at this point to make a move and potentially steal the girl away.
Example:

Rob – Yo, check out those 2 broads over there… yea, the blonde has been staring me down since we walked in.

Derek – Yea? …well then make moves son!

Rob – I got this.

Rob – Hey, what’s up.. you guys know of any good bars or clubs around here?

Blonde – (Insert engaging reply here)

Derek – (Swooping in from the side to talk to her brunette friend, instantly begins kicking solid game…)

Rob – Damn.. there goes that Jersey Shortcut again!
