This isn’t about what your favorite euphemism for #2 is, I want to know what you usually say and where you’re from. What’s the word you’re most likely to use for:
A. Feces
B. Defecation
C. A bolus (formed log of feces)
me:
a. doo-doo
b. doo-dooing
c. a piece of doo-doo
grew up in DC suburbs.
BTW, I’m expecting most people to use the S-word, but we’ll see (that is, if anyone participates ).

[li]It depends. If it’s dog crap, it’s “puppy dog logs”. If it’s pretty much everything else, just “crap” or “shit”[/li][li]My favorite euphemism…wow. That’s like asking me which kid is my favorite (of course I don’t HAVE any, which makes it much easier). I’m going with “Taking the Browns to the Super Bowl (It was acome from behind victory)”, “Stocking the pond/Releasing brown trout”, “snapping a deuce”, “laying cable”, or “unloading cargo”[/li][li]As far as a formed log goes, I’d say “log”. Unless it’s impressive, then it could be a “python”, “butt serpent”, or “pile”. If it’s dimunitive, then we’ll go with just “butt nugget”.[/li][/ul]
Not that I think of these things…goodness, no.
b. pooping. Unless I’m asking my dog if she needs to go outside, in which case it’s, “Do you need to go poopies?” Sheesh. That makes me sound like such a dork. Well, I am, but that’s another issue.
c. lincoln log or a turd. if it’s a little one, it’s a butt nugget.
and I grew up mainly in the south (Texas/Georgia).
In my standard workday, I may use up to 4 or 5 different terms, as I need to discuss the phenomenon with a number of different patients, many of whom have such widely varying linguistic and cognitive skills that it boggles my mind.
a. shee-yit, crap, or Doodoocaca! Warning! URL not safe for those who prefer not to see animated caricatures of Hitler, Dr. King, or hyperthyroid babies!
b. laying undersea cable, saying yes to Mr. Brown, or seeing a man about a horse
c. log, grogan, or dirt snake
If that song gets stuck in my head (which it won’t), I sware I’m coming out and having sex with your sister as revenge.
Or I’ll just bitch about it on the Dope.
