Who poo'ed...did you???

When I was a little kid and first became exposed to the naughty nature of children and their uncanny fascination with poo, I quickly learned the correct and incorrect ways to describe it in public setting. Below I will categorize the words most commonly used for this regular bodily function:

1) Poo or Poop
 - The word "poo" is often used in conjuction with the unattractive smell associated either before or after the action of relieving one's bowels takes place. Add a simple letter "p" to the end and you will be describing the action itself.
EX. " Ewww.... Mom, Trent smells like poop!" or " Peee-eeeww, she poo'ed!"

2) "BM"
 - A "BM" is a technical abbreviation for "bowel movement." This, according to my grandmother, who is the knower of all things, it is the most appropriate way to describe such personal functions, in public or private. It is also the most politically correct way to describe the action taking place.
EX. "May I please be excused, I need to make a BM."

3) #2
 - Realizing the meaning of doing a "#2" can only be understood by knowing the meaning of doing a "#1." Here we see that the first describes simple urination, while the second describes the complex task of bowel movements. Oftentimes parents will ask their children, "Do you need to go to the bathroom?" "Okay, #1 or #2?"
*Note: This way of describing the lower bowel movements is accepted in most all settings and situations and is the most 'politically correct' version to use.

4) crap or it's censored version "$h!t"
 - To "crap" one's pants, or to "take a crap" is often used by the pre-teen to early and late adulthood generations. There is a sense of vulgarity to this verbiage and it is considered most rude to say out loud in public, especially the latter.
EX. "Gross Josh! You just crapped all over yourself!" or "Man, get outta my way! I need to take a massive $h!t"

5) Doo-doo or boo-boo
 - These variations can be used by adults and children alike. The repetition in the words make them easy for kids to learn and they are generally accepted in public, when speaking to or about children's bowel movements.
EX. "Momma, I need to go boo-boo." or "Daddy, doo-doo'ed upstairs!"

6) Taking a "dump" 
Taking a dump is a common way to describe the process of passing stools and specifically refers to a large amount of waste being removed from the bowels. Often, it is also assumed, by using this phrase, that you will be engaged in bathroom functions for some time.
EX. " AY! Close the door! I'm taking a dump here!"

SO...I hope that proved to be an informational and entertaining spin on the normal bodily functions we each experience everyday. No matter what you call it, or when you it happens, everyone does it!

Throughout your detox I hope yours are as smooth and pain-free as possible. Happy dumping!
