Derived from the
latin word sha, which means explosive
diarrhea. The term differs from the phrase taking a shit because of the shear explosiveness of the action. The term is often used to get out of
work for a week or more.
Man, I have been taking a
shaw all freakin
day. You can count on me not coming to
work for at least the next 3 weeks. If you need me I will be watching Dexter.
