paper in my pooper

When you have a massive wad of toilet paper stuck to your contracting sphinkter hole, it sticks, and you want to pick it. This happens after a massive shit.

You- "Damn dawg i got paper in my pooper"
Your friend- "Yo dawg dont pick that shit you will get an infection"
You- "BUT IT ITCHES DAWG! DAAAMMNN"

Then you pick it, and the next day your ass falls off.
