What is shifting dullness?

In the purely medical sense, shifting dullness refers to a sign elicited when a doctor examines a patient with ascites. It refers to the movement of fluid inside the patient's abdomen, which is detectable with percussion. GP notebook has a good summary.

Shifting dullness also refers to my ability to make everything I do, somehow, boring.
