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.

shawshank shitting

the act of using surrounding noises to strategically defecate in a public restroom. taken from Tim Robbins' escape from the fictitious "Shawshank Prison," wherein he bludgeones a large sewage pipe with a rock, striking the pipe only when the thunder from a lightning bolt is loud enough to mask the noise of his stone as it strikes metal.

Shawshank Redumption

When one is pooping in a public bathroom, embarassed by ass noises, one waits for others to make noise to allow for loud ass explosions. Similar to Tim Robbins in "Shawshank Redemption" waiting for the thunder so his banging on the pipe would go unheard.

I had to wait for the other guy to flush to let my shawshank redumption rip.

The Shawshank Redemption

A fantastic film (based on a Stephen King novella) released in 1994 starring Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeeman and directed by Frank Darabont. The film focuses on Andy Dufresne (Robbins), a young man wrongfully sent to Shawshank prison for murder, and his 20-year friendship with a fellow life-termer named Red (Freeman).

It received eight Oscar nominations.

Known as one of the most famous "sleepers" because it made less than 30 million dollars during its original release, However, its rental profits are astronomical and it makes most "Top 100 movies" lists.

On imdb.com, it ranks as the second best movie of all time, just behind The Godfather.

the shawshank redemption

Awesome movie. Many people consider it to be "cliche" following generic prison plots, but it was based on King's novel, which came out in the 80's people! Also, Morgan Freeman, Tim Robbins, and James Whitmore (as Brooks) were brilliant.

Brooks suicide note was one of the saddest scenes in a movie I've ever seen.

Reverse Shawshank

To slowly, and painstakingly, acquire things bit by bit in exactly the opposite way that Tim Robbins got rid of the dirt and rocks that he excavated from his cell as he dug his tunnel to freedom in the film, Shawshank Redemption.
