The "Kidney Stone Software Development Process" is a degenerate process where releasing software to the field is incredibly painful but eventually "passes" and reaches customers. Developers within the process find that once the code portion of the project is complete, there are so many gates held by so many other internal groups that the software must first pass through, including peer review, quality assurance, documentation, not to mention possible conflicting schedules of other teams, product owners and managers, that the customers may not see the finished product for a long time. The process is akin to passing the proverbial kidney stone - incredibly painful, but eventually, it passes through.
We use the Kidney Stone Software Development Process at work; I'm still shepherding the finished code through multiple painful gates - who knows when this will actually ship.

Exactly the same definition as "killing two birds with one stone", but this term can be used as a more vulgar/edgy next level substitute to get the same point across, but also cause a sense of shock and awe also possible disgust towards first-time listeners of this phrase. This phrase may also invoke the mental image of a man grabbing his own penis and tilting it upward like a firearm and shooting out a kidney stone with such intense force that it could lethally penetrate two flying turds with bird wings killing them both at the same time.

Get the Killing two turds with one kidney stonemug. the nut-coated kidney stone gauntlet is used by grandmaster baiters who have gooned so extensively over many years that there is a semen build-up of many meters high in the gooncave, which results in semen seeping through the tip of the penis and making its way through the bladder and up to the kidneys where it then coats kidney stones in layers of nut, which then the body temperature eventually evaporates creating nut fumes which stain the kidney stones, essentially giving them an upgrade. these nut-coated kidney stones then push through the tunnels filled with semen and eventually make their way out, where the grandmaster baiter will then plant into the specially made gauntlet, allowing for the full gooning potential to be unlocked.

Get the reverse kidney stonemug. Trying to relax and smoke a blunt, only to enter an uncomfortable purgatory of discomfort and negative introspection you feel like you may never escape until finally coming to rest after realizing some painful truths.
I’ve been going through a lot guys, turned out I’ve been getting in my own way in all my relationships, I got kidney stoned for 6 hours yesterday, but I finally cracked it. I need to work on communicating my feelings more instead of expecting people to read my mind. It was hard to accept, and it hurt to imagine all the things I missed out on, but I’m glad pushed out the truth out.
