Short for the "urinal deuce". A U-Deu (U-Doo) is defined by the act of laying a deuce, or defecating, into a urinal.
i.e. All the stalls in the Men's room were occupied, so Aurthur found an open urinal and dropped a U-Deu.
i.e. Jeff was bragging to his friends that he'd taken a U-Deu in a port-a-potty urinal on a double dog dare.

Dates from ancient Greek times, where "deus ex machina" ("god from the machine") in a play referred to the act of lowering a god on stage using a cable device (therefore, a god from a machine) to decide in a dilemma and give fate a nudge, so to say.
These days, deus ex machina has the negative connotation of an utterly improbable, illogical or baseless plot twist that drastically alters the situation, as if the "deus ex machina" came down to give fate that little push.

I liked the movie, but the ending was total crap...they could've come up with a better way to beat the villain than the deus ex machina ending of that guy miraculously coming back to life.
