To slowly chip away at getting to know someone in order to get into a relationship with them, in the way Tim Robbins' character slowly chips away at his prison cell to eventually brreak out of jail in the movie The Shawshank Redemption.

"Ray's a bloody shawshanker! He's been shawshanking my girlfriend for the past three months!

Shawshanking

Shawshanking is the act of reacting with appalled disbelief because someone hasn't seen a movie that it is considered a classic.

Originated with someone having not seen The Shawshank Redemption, but can be applied to any movie.

"I haven't seen Poltergeist."
"YOU HAVEN'T SEEN POLTERGEIST?!"
"You're Shawshanking me!"

shawshanking

When you are stuck in a miserable job, working for the devil (aka - the warden) and you slowly start to chip away at your escape while plotting to take the boss down when you leave.

"How do you put up with that bitch on two legs?"

"Don't worry about me...I'm shawshanking."

Shawshanking

The art of mastering a public poo by releasing your poo when the other occupant flushes their toilet.

Much like when Tim Robbins masks the sound of banging the pipes to coincide with the thunder.

Man the lady across the hall always goes to the bathroom the same time I do. I've learned to let my poos out at the same time she flushes so she cannot hear the sounds. I'm shawshanking my poos like a pro!

Shawshanking

When you slowly chip away at your partner's sexual conservatism until the hole final opens and your crawling through a river of shit and coming up smiling on the other side.

"Awh mate, you done Stacey up the sewer pipe yet?"

"Nawh mate, she's a bit vanilla but I've been shawshanking her and I final got the butt plug in!"

To ecstatically raise ones arms in the iconic style of Andy Dufrain from the Shawshank Redemption, whilst feeling a surge of uncontrollable euphoria during the breakdown phase of a trance track in a nightclub.

The muic was really emotional on Saturday, we were Shawshanking it all night.
