    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.

    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

    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?

    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.

    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?

    I know! I know!

    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)
