- the state of being very close to having to discharge fecal excrement, similiar to the state of "crowning" when giving birth. To reach this state, the turtle must be poking his head out.
When the excrement in one's anus cannot be contained any longer and it starts pushing open the sphincter. Probably related to childbirth where the top of the baby's head (the crown) is first visable as it emerges from the vagina.
Mike was crowning, it was a tough decision between dropping a chalupa in the woods with no toilet paper, or waiting for the comforts of an outhouse three miles ahead.
The point during a woman's labor when the baby's head (also known as the crown) can be first seen poking out of her vagina. Also used to refer to the point when a poop log can be first seen poking out of the anus.
