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.
