Inspired by the recent rash of fart threads, I found myself thinking of alternate names for Farts and Poops in a fit of insomnia last night (hey, like ignorance, ya gotta fight insomnia how ever you can). If you needed any further convincing that the cheese has fallen completely off my cracker, I was putting all the names I could think of to the tune of _Beethoven’s 9th/Ode to Joy_. What is bugging me today is I can only remember maybe less than a tenth of the euphemisms I came up with. Where else could I turn? Please try to break up your entries in the form of gasses and solids. **solids** [ul]laying cable Talking to a man about a horse In deference to Opal, let’s bypass the “Hi Opal” for these lists Pinching a loaf Depth Charges poop shit crap dung hershey squirts diahhrea turds [/ul] **gasses** [ul]Air bisquit fart putser shoot a rabbit methane mine room clearer seam ripper ass blaster[/ul] I thank you for your help, and wish the most twisted version of Beethoven’s 9th be stuck in your head all day. ---

Well, under solids, the Greaseman used to refer to a, um prolific output as a “massive”. And may the chorus to Helen Reddy’s “Ruby Red Dress” which popped up in my head unbidden today, reverberate for the rest of the day in yours. Glad to be of help. ---

We have one small bathroom in our house. My small-bladdered wife yells at me if I stink up the can before she has a chance to urinate. Hence, we have two euphemisms in our household for needing to defecate. **One:** “Honey, do you need to pee?” – or – **Two:** “I’m getting a red alert.” ---

A contribution for the solids camp that I got from my darling hubby: “breaking off a piece.” That was something he said once when we were dating, and my 13 yr old brother thought it was SO hilarious. My mom was not nearly so amused (it grossed her out!) and finally forbade him to use the phrase! Kinda eerie when they subsequently came out with the “break me off a piece of that Kit Kat bar” commercials. Somehow, I was not inspired to go eat a Kit Kat! ---

“the escapee” this is a fart that sneeks out without the owner of said fart having advance warning. Never acknowledge the escapee. Pretend it didn’t happen. “the jail break” this is a a series of unintentional and very loud machine gun type farts that occur when the perpertrator was trying to sneak one under duress. There is no denial of the jail break, can not be ignored and is usually the subject of embarassment and laughter. ---
