Getting the Shift!

juma

The use of the word "shift" seems to be making a huge comeback over the past year. Even on Facebook the 'shift' groups are always popping up. And Im loving it. Love the word. I love getting the shift even more. Who cares about the ride anymore, if you get the shift on a night out then thats a result!

If you didn't get the ride, you should at least get a stinky finger.

A finger and a shift.

The Shift was back in fashion long before Horse Outside

Notcied this, after every night out it's all "Did ya get the shift?"
No one is asking about the ride at all now

I prefer it this way, it's juvenile and a bit of a laugh, was better craic getting the shift back in the day than jumping through hoops for the ride now imo

If you cant lift her dont shift her.

Is it not just that there's been a mass exodus from Bebo and the like and now the younger folk are all up in your Facebooks?

Yeah, you can't beat the fish fingers.

No. Most of my friends on it are in their mid 20's. So no. Just....no.

Maybe your just bitter because you never get the shift or the ride?

Brilliant.

That's undoubtedly the reason.

I love the way that because I made a point about your thread and I'm somehow 'bitter'. Why would I be bitter because young folk on a social networking site that I don't use are using a word that I don't really use anymore because when you get to my age 'getting the shift' isn't any big thing to write home about?

You're getting awfully defensive over a thread about a word being used on a social networking site. What is it that you're not telling us juma? There's got to be more than this? Are you feeling ok? Have the big boys been taking your lunch money again?

Perhaps you're just bitter because I know how to use "your" and "you're" correctly?

I didnt say you were bitter, I only said that maybe you were. But the fact that you got so defensive makes me think I could be on to something.

Anyways back to the shift. It isnt just on Facebook. It seems to be commonly said among people these days if they got with someone the night before.

I logged onto boards.ie to get away from those stupid fcuking mass jokes on facebook.

Will I ever be free?

Ah bless, it's trying to 'diss' me.

Did I say that right? 'Diss'?

You young folk, getting all worked up over swapping saliva.

It's cute.

Well you're the person who seems to be desperate to engage in a childish argument. Sadly, I have too much class, so I'm not going to respond to any more of your immature comments. Now, I'm off to CPs to get the shift!

Ah look - it thinks it's people!

And it has a sense of humour too! First time I've ever seen someone claim they have 'class' and then admit they're heading off to CP's.

Don't worry juma, you'll get to have actual full sex with a real live naked woman one day. Just hang on in there kiddo!


Oh and well done for getting "you're" right this time. Did you get a grown-up to help you or did you figure it out with your brain all by yourself?

There's a load of 'shift'ual tension between Annoboy and Juma

Ok, check over my shoulder. Is he looking at me now?

Is he?

DON'T MAKE IT OBVIOUS!

F*ck's sake.

I'm hoping to get the shift off him later.



(And then have anal sex with him down the alleyway down the back of Sally Long's)

Love this saying, just because its such an Irish thing to say. A few jagers and a shift, what more could you want from a night on the town!

It looks like we are back to the ancient times of the 80's/90's then?
Ya unfortunately think the getting the 'ride' part is slowly dying out. So a 'shift' is as good as it gets when on nights out. Ye be lucky to even get a peck on the cheek or a dance these days cause people are either too shy or too fussy or too drunk or need dutch courage to approach the opposite sex!


Back to old times I say or old school more like!:P

yea never got that, asked would ya shift her. my reply was, why she seems fine where she is

If "the shift" doesnt mean making out anymore then what does it mean ?

I just call it scoring. Always have.
Scoring or getting the shift, or making out, are all fine in my book. What drives me mad is when people take "meet" to mean making out. That fad invited a lot of ridiculously annoying jokes in the early school days, "I met your sister at the cinema last night" "OOH LA LA" "..."

Korvanica

give her a dickin...

storm2811

I can't remember when "shift" wasn't used here, it always was.

But I remember a few friends from other places used to say "meet"

"Will ya meet him?"
"Meet him where?!"
:pac:

Spunge

Anything's better than "score"

Porking some vag is my personal favourite.

i live in laois and around here we all say will you "meet" her? instead of will you kiss her or get with her. it can get quite irritating.

neaideabh

Prefer the term "pulling a cum dumpster!"

Aoifey!

It's coming back and I'm lovin' it!

ColeTrain

Who uses the phrase 'making out'? C'mon Saved By The Bell ended years ago. 'The shift' is the term to use.

Aoifey!

I hate "meet" with a passion.

LambsEye

"Shift" all the way. "Shifting FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACES" even better.
