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.
