Dufresnea

To be framed into a diagnosis of schizophrenia, in the same way Andy Dufresne from Shaw-shank redemption was framed for crime. Sometimes common among political dissidents or bankers who know to much.
Joe from accounting found out about the company's mismanaged hedge fund, yeah the company EAP gave him Dufresnea he'll be out for a few months.

Dufresning

The discrete, illegal dumping of mass quantities of waste, by distributing it in small amounts at various locations around town. This is done to avoid paying a manageable, one time fee at the local waste disposal facility.

This term comes from the move Shawshank Redemption and the character Andy Dupresne. Seems Andy's favorite hobby was toting his wall out into the exercise yard... ...a handful at a time.
I tore down a wall of plaster and mortar at my house, and it took me a month of Andy Dufresning to get rid of it at local dumpsters, ditches, grade schools, and churches.

Andy Dufresne

In 1966, Andy Dufresne escaped from Shawshank prison. All they found of him was a muddy set of prison clothes, a bar of soap, and an old rock hammer, damn near worn down to the nub. I used to think it would take six-hundred years to tunnel under the wall with it. Old Andy did it in less than twenty. Oh, Andy loved Geology, I guess it appealed to his meticulous nature. An ice age here, million years of mountain building there. Geology is the study of pressure and time. That's all it takes really, pressure, and time. That, and a big god-damned poster. Like I said, in prison a man will do anything to keep his mind occupied. It turns out Andy's favourite hobby was totin' his wall through the exercise yard, a handful at a time. I guess after Tommy was killed, he decided he had been here just about long enough. Andy did like he was told, buffed those shoes to a high mirror shine. The guard simply didn't notice, neither did I... I mean, seriously, how often do you really look at a mans shoes? Andy crawled to freedom through five-hundred yards of shit smelling foulness I can't even imagine, or maybe I just don't want too. Five-Hundred yards... that's the length of five football fields, just shy of half a mile.
Andy Dufresne - who crawled through a river of shit and came out clean on the other side.

pull an andy dufresne

In the film Shawshank Redemption, Andy DuFresne wanted library books, so he sent letters constantly to request the libary books. Then when he request was accepted, he sent more to get even more library books.

To pull an Andy DuFresne is to constantly hassle someone when you want something. Usually in regards to letters, like in the movie, or emails.
Ah yea, those bastards weren't answering my emails so I had to pull an Andy DuFresne on them.

The Dufresne

When you shit in your pants and very casually drop the turds down your pants and out your legs, then walk away like nothing happened. Inspired by Andy Dufresne from The Shawshank Redemption dropping parts of his escape hole out in the prison yard. Also inspired by an ebaumsworld video.
"I was unable to find a bathroom in time, so I was forced to pull The Dufresne."
