Pronunciation: site-shift

Sentence: The compulsive liar found it easy to zeitshift, convincing the police he'd arrived a day later than the 6 tons of coke.

Etymology: From German "Zeit" meaning time, and "shift". Is a pathetic pun on the German "Zeitschrift" meaning magazine. Note, however, pronounciation being "site-shift", perhaps implying that locations/times have been altered.
