So, my term is very sacred to me, as it encompasses something that I, along with many men (and a few choice women) figuratively keep close to our hearts, while the literal sense and origin come from another 'end'.
First off, allow me to paint a picture. You're in a relatively personal area, maybe your office, a classroom, or a maybe even a public sanctuary of sorts. You ate way too much ethnic food - let's say Indian - to which one gastrointestinal system should be subjected, and you just now start getting the bubble-guts. While you have enough self-awareness to know that your eruption may not necessarily be in solid - or god forbid, liquid form, you are also smart enough to know that this may not be the most friendly to the ole' Olfactory. So rather than sitting and crock-potting, you feel it would be safer (and less painful on those in the immediate vicinity) to bring the steam to a less-populated area. Ladies and gentlemen, let the curtains part to the unveiling of the Shawshank:
Ah, yes, the Shawshank Redemption. Great movie. In fact, if the above picture helps remind you of a scene where the main character (played by Robbins) transports pieces of his cell into the common outside area of prison, then the previous lead-up and the ensuing sentences should help finalize this masterpiece so that you, too can avoid public humiliation. Or, if you so desire, you can use the Shawshank to put a little added flair into a crop-dusting of a colleague or classmate.
In fact, a Shawshank can be put to use in public places to add an often-needed exclamation point on the tail end of any less-than-approving gesture with which you use to describe a gathering, award acceptance speech, or Bar Mitzvah. Just don't forget to put both hands in your pockets to 'shake loose' any remainders, else suffer the consequences of possibly crop-dusting your own area!
