radio friendly unit shifter 

The grand Nirvana song on the album "In Utero" which contains tons of feedback and guitar muscle. There are many live videos of them performing the song (usually opening the concert with it).
"Radio Friendly" in music terms refers to a song being aired on a radio station that appeals to mainstream audiences.
"Unit Shifter" refers to a song that can sell copies of an album. Ironically it's the most aggressive song in the whole radio un-friendly album.
Radio Friendly Unit Shifter

Use just once and destroy
Invasion of our piracy
Afterbirth of a nation
Starve without your skeleton key

I love you for what I am not
I do not want what I have got
A blanket acne'ed with cigarette burns
Speak at once while taking turns

left handed smoke shifter 

A combination of snipe hunting and to be given the runaround. Part of the phrase, " Go find me a left handed smoke shifter" This is to be said to one of the more gullible members of the group. That member is then sent on a fool's errand, running from campsite to campsite as the people at each campsite tell him, " No we don't have one, but I heard so and so has one." In other words; something that doesn't exist that is used to send someone on a fool's errand.
My older brother told me to get the "Biggie does Bach" CD. Turns out it was a left handed smoke shifter.

Goalpost Shifter 

The worst type of Nintendo bootlicker who defends their multi-million dollar company when :
1. There's a criticism of Nintendo when they shut down fan stuff borrowing their IPs.
2. There's a criticism from fanboys of rival consoles.
3. They lose an argument, some of them start mocking their colloquist at this point.
Here we go there's a Goalpost Shifter under a Twitter post criticising Nintendo shutting down Youtubers who upload their OSTs.

Tinder shape shifter 

(n) A very fat or large girl on Tinder who uses a very flattering profile picture to lure men (or women) in. The ruse often goes undiscovered until a further perusing of the profile after a match is made. Some may choose to unmatch, or will feel to guilty to do so. Tinder shape shifters, when matched, will often message their potential mates first.
Man 1: "dude check this new Tinder match out, she's hot as hell!"
Man 2: "look closer at her profile my friend, she is actually a Tinder shape shifter"
Man 1: "nooooo! How did you know this?"
Man 2: "because...I too have matched with her"
*both hang heads in shame*

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
