prawn jawn

Definition

The strategic dining maneuver of camping out at Red Lobster's all-you-can-eat shrimp promotion for an inappropriately long time. It's less a meal and more an endurance sport where the goal is maximum crustacean consumption. The restaurant's worst nightmare and your wallet's best friend.

Example Usage

We're hitting the prawn jawn this weekend—I've been training my stomach all week.
