turdonion

when one peels back the layers of of detail in a situation, encountering increasing levels of pain and discomfort (e.g. crying while peeling an onion), only to discover in the end that the situation is in fact really a turd.

Hey Mike... I've been digging into this new project you gave me, and I don't think it's an onion...I am standing here crying holding a turd... Thanks for the turdonion, bro..
