heartbreaking work of staggering power

1. n. A book or movie, often part of a school curriculum, that is renowned for its symbolism, examination of underlying themes, and emotional impact on the consumer.

2. n. A book or movie that leaves the consumer questioning the meaning of life and finding it devoid of all warmth and happiness.

two-stager

A strenuous part of the human evacuation process which occurs when one engages in the act of wiping excess fecal matter from the rectum and has to evacuate for a second time, thus leading to the necessary engagement in yet another round of wiping the excrement from the anus.
