Proper usage and audio pronunciation (plus IPA phonetic transcription) of the word shifty. Information about shifty in the AudioEnglish.org dictionary, synonyms and antonyms.
In One Sentence: Shifty eyes show lack of certainty and nervousness.
How To Use it: Shifty eyes is a cue that should be avoided unless one wishes to draw attention to ones stress and nervousness. As the cue is generally associated with lying it is looked poorly upon. The cue can be used to show nonverbal sarcasm.
Context: General.
Verbal Translation: “I’m feeling the pressure and my eyes are traveling all over the place in search of answers to the stress I’m under. If I look in enough places, I’m bound to find what I’m looking for.”
Variant: N/A.
Cue In Action: To get him to cave, she put him in front of the class and asked him if he would confess. He was obviously lying, she though. His eyes darted about the room as she grilled him about the missing raffle money. She assumed he was lying because he wouldn’t hold eye contact.
Meaning and/or Motivation: Shifty eyes are habitually associated with lying but research shows that most practiced liars hold gaze even more strongly than normal.
Paul Ekman’s research into lying says that people often attribute shifty or darting eyes to liars, however, as a predictor of a lie it actually falls short. Looking away from complicated human faces helps us concentrate. Therefore darting eyes doesn’t really tell us anything concretely. Just that thought is taking place.
Additionally, the stress and nervousness of being put on the spot is enough to cause the eyes to exhibit patterns that seem dishonest. Shifty eyes are a more reliable predictor of stress than lying.
Cue Cluster: Darting eyes is connected to other nervous and stress related body language such as touching the face, neck, nose and ears, shrinking and shrugging, ducking the head and crossing the arms and legs.

Trivia
- Marina claims to have helped make the stage herself, which is shown by her symbol appearing on the stage image.
- As Marina mentions often in the news segments, she was raised around Octarian machinery, which would explain why many of the Shifty Station variants contain at least one of the Octo Valley and Octo Canyonmechanics.
- This is elaborated on further in the Octo Expansion. In Marina's chat room, Pearl mentions how Marina creates these stages all by herself, while Cap'n Cuttlefish notes the Octarian technology used, such as floating rocks, from Marina's time as a combat engineer for DJ Octavio.
- Every Shifty Station's name is a reference to a work in some form of media. The English version references titles of young adult Western novels, while in the Japanese version references titles of Japanese shōjo manga.
- Shifty Station's name is a reference to the fact that it is not the same every Splatfest.
- On one of the stations there is an Inkjet glitch that allows the player to clip through the wall.
- The internal code name for this stage in the game files is 'Deli'.
- An unused variant of Shifty Station has the file name 'Deli04' and the code name 'Box'.
- Between the debut of Shifty Station in Mayo vs. Ketchup (2017) and the final Shifty Station in Chaos vs. Order, November 2017 and June 2018 were the only months not to introduce a new variation.
- Pulp vs. No-Pulp used Zappy Longshocking, which first appeared in Japan for the New Lifeform vs. Future Tech Splatfest in April.
- Hello Kitty vs. My Melody used A Swiftly Tilting Balance, which first appeared in North America, Oceania, and Europe for the Raph vs. Donnie Splatfest.
- The Shifty Stations appear to be built in Octarian Domes, and share many similarities with them, such as having floating objects and octopus-shaped rocks. However, this has not been confirmed.
- In Private Battles, the four variants that were featured during seasonal Splatfests (Railway Chillin', Flooders in the Attic, Bridge to Tentaswitchia, and MC.Princess Diaries) still have the stickers and graffiti that decorated them during Chaos vs. Order. These stickers are displayed regardless of team ink color.
