Shawshank

Escaping from a school lesson with a brilliant plan and excuse.

Person 1: “Hey, I heard Jimmy pulled a Shawshank in English yesterday.”
Person 2: “Sick! One day I’d love to skip a class like that.”

Shawshanked

When a person on a date escapes, ghosting the other person mid-date, leaving them abandoned and befuddled.

I met her at a classy restaurant, she's there maybe five minutes and says she needs the ladies room, and then she Shawshanked me, leaving me with like 15 White Castle burgers I had to eat on my own.

The assumption that everyone has seen the movie, The Shawshank Redemption

While talking to my girlfriend, I made a reference to the escape scene in The Shawshank Redemption, but it turned out she had never seen the movie. I had simply made the Shawshank Assumption that she had.

Shawshank Redemption

When you order a new pair of shoes from Amazon, put your old ones in the box, and return them for a refund.

My shoes are worn out, its time for a Shawshank Redemption.
