The point of shamsher is to confuse someone, by pointing at either their feet, or the floor down beside them.
In doing so, you may have them confused and looking at one spot, while you walk past them (e.g to some out-of-bounds place)

Another purpose is to make them look stupid, and attack their self-confidence by putting them of the defensive.

It's is especially funny if you 'Shamsher' a teacher, one that is preferably going somewhere in a hurry, or to lunch at the end of class, it will produce hours of laughter after class with mates who already know about shamshering.
Scene from "Freddy Got Fingered", near middle of Chapter 2 on the DVD.

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
