cliffhanger
When taking a dump, occasionally there's that piece of turd that comes out but wont drop off.  It sits there hanging, in effect, leaving you hanging.  ...should I wait?  should I pinch it off?

Want to continue with the book? Turn the page.
Want to continue with life? pinch it off and risk just mushing it up.
Bob: Let's go! We're late!

John: Wait! I can't stop! There's this crazy cliffhanger that I cant just leave hanging!
