The Shawshank

A classic revenge technique in which the offended party hollows-out a space in a hardcover book and then deposits his bowel movement in said book. Upon closing the book, he places in on the bookshelf or desk of the offending party, where it festers undiscovered for weeks until the smell finally subsides.
Your roommate sleeps with your girlfriend while you're on a business trip, you need a non-violent, yet maddening way to re-pay his disloyalty. Hence, the Shawshank.

Shawshank

See shank for root definition.
Verb: to lift up your leg or ass cheek and deliver a rousing fart at the exact same time as a loud noise, to avoid being heard, much like the lead character in The Shawshank Redemption hit the pipe with the stone during the storm.
I was at my girlfriend's house watching a movie with her parents, and I really needed to shank one, so I waited until an explosion and shawshanked it perfectly. They never heard a thing so no one knew where the smell came from.
