hold back the river

The feeling, specifically after eating spicy food and When you know you have a really big shit coming, but you're nowhere near a bathroom and you have to fight desperately to keep it in. These shits tend to be very liquid, hence the referral to a "River".
Person 1: Man, remeber when we left the James Bay concert and then went for Indian?

Person 2: Yeah, why?

Person 2: Cheers.
