    I always thought shift meant a ride when i heard it. Stupid word for a kiss. Suits getting your hole a lot better.

    Thought the same when I first moved here. Was asked by one of my mates had I shifted her yet, I was like dude, we're still in the club, he was, yeah but you have kissed her? i said, ah man, done that an hour ago.

    The day my Dad told me "I saw you shifting some bird outside the chipper lastnight" was the greatest 10 seconds of my life! He is 56 and managed to get shifting and bird into the same sentence:D
    Did you go back to hers and give her the greatest 10 seconds of her life? :pac:

    "Shift" also used to mean a woman undergarment.

    Just ask JM Synge.

    shift used to mean 'making out' when culchies said it a couple of years ago...
    It's been around al lot longer than that, they used it back in the 50s according to my ma.

    EDIT: Sorry that should be 70s, sorry ma.

    I'm wondering where KFallon is with his obsession with the "sneaky finger"

    This is the perfect thread for his obsession. He must be sick

    What the **** kind of goon says 'making out'? No one Irish in their right mind would utter those words.

    Shift has been popular around these parts, in the Wesht for years, it may have waned in popularity when 'were ya with anyone' came into fashion for a while.

    Did ya get the shift? Yeowwwwwwwwwwwww

    Yeah it never really went away in Mayo, but it definetely was on the wane for a few years.

    Perhaps you're just bitter because I know how to use "your" and "you're" correctly?
    Perhaps you're bitter because you can't get the shift!

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

    We never stopped using the word shift up here, although its meaning went from romantically engaging with one to "she can go" as in that car is fast.

    We used the word tackle instead.

    Ah yeah, getting the shift is a great aul phrase. When I was younger it was either that or 'meeting' a bird, which also meant getting a kiss

    Getting ''the wear'' has become more popular these days too and if you got your hole the question would be 'Did you get the wear AND your tear!?''

    We have been liberated sexually here in Ireland but our language has lagged a bit!

    Don't know about anyone else but where I'm from ''shift'' means the sneaky finger :pac: while ''tips and tipping'' take the place of shifting.
    This only applies to a very small area how ever and neighboring towns don't follow our example.


    Caused great embarrassment when visiting aunts after a teenager disco only for them to inquire if you got the shift the night before :eek:

    The 'sneaky finger' should never, ever, be referred to as anything else but the 'sneaky finger'!!!

    I have no idea how a finger in the 'brown' could ever be considered as 'shifting' :pac:

    I'm dreadfully sorry about my misunderstanding of the ''sneaky finger''
    Yeah in my the back of beyonds shifting would be a finger in the ''pink''

    Still something my 14 year old else didn't want to talk about with my elderly relatives
