Wasting copious amounts of expensive instant film like some kind of drug addict in the quest to get a photographic work of art out of a 40-year-old camera which was never designed to be much more than a handheld novelty to begin with. The quest is made nearly impossible by a relatively slow exposure and no tripod mount or cable release.

From the song Hey Ya by Outkast, the phrase "shake it like a polaroid" means to shake like the act of masturbating. One developes a polaroid by flicking their wrist in a back and forth motion.

Comes from the song Hey Ya! by a group called Outkast intoning women to shake it out on the dance floor. Refers back to when people used to wave around or fan their instant photos in order to dry them. The popularity of this song/phrase caused the Polaroid company to put out a press release warning people NOT to shake today's Polaroids because it would ruin them.
She knew how to attract men: she would get out on the dance floor and shake it like a Polaroid picture!
