shawshank

The act of enduring something which results in continuous consternation and/or pain of which you have no control over once into it. And, the event does not end until the act is completed or until you find a way to tunnel out and/or crawl through a proverbial 500 yard, shit-laden, drain pipe to free yourself of the event. Reference the movie "Shawshank Redemption".

Shit dude! I got busted for a DUI a week ago and had to shawshank it until I was bailed out by my ex-girlfriend.

Shawshank Redemption 

While doing a girl from behind, you take a small spoon and start gingerly digging at her asshole. When she, most likely shocked, looks back to see what the hell is going on, you briskly hold up a poster of Rita Hayworth.

yesterday I was given a Shawshank Redemption, and I have yet to recover.
