Oh I know that you weren't; I guess *I* was! I have a reputation to protect <G>. I hear a lot of colorful variations for this bodily function, and I think the verb in question is often euphemized by "to poop" (verb with weak ending), or... as I've heard it in the south, "to poo." Used as both noun and verb. Someone yell at us to get off this topic! I'm sure I'll hear from Clemens about this. <GGGGGGGGGGGG> ============================================================ SALLY CAVES scaves@frontiernet.net http://www.frontiernet.net/~scaves (bragpage) http://www.frontiernet.net/~scaves/teonaht.html (T. homepage) http://www.frontiernet.net/~scaves/contents.html (all else) ===================================================================== Niffodyr tweluenrem lis teuim an.
