Weave

Attempted by many, but mastered by only some. To weave is to find your way out of trouble with a minimum of fuss, or to tag along or find your way into a situation (for the better) you weren't initially supposed to be in.

Also a form of sporting follower. A 'weaver' will weave their way into any situation, and 'get ahead of themselves', or 'overachive'.

'I'm sick of the weaver's. They're always there. Every time.'

'He'll try the weave'.

Shrug

When you make a thinly veiled attempt at weaving your way out of a situation/meeting someone/fulfiling an obligation. Some people do this more than others, and can develop a reputation for it.

"He gave me the shrug again, he does this every time"
