Keberoxu, I'm glad you used care in delivering your "sample."

My ex-wife used to work in a medical clinic where patients would regularly drop urine samples through the mail slot in the front door (despite instructions to the contrary). What do you do with the mail when a bottle of urine breaks on top of it?

"Poo". I hate that word. Call it shit, call it crap, call it faeces, call it whatever family term you like - but "poo" just irritates me. And yet it's the word they always use when the BBC gets round to mentioning it.

I always make a point of asking for the test kit; they seem to have a policy of not sending it automatically once you pass a certain age. I don't think that's anything to do with you being less liable to get bowel cancer, I suspect it's rather that you seen as more disposable.

There is a word even more crap than poo... 'poop'...!!!!!

'Poo' is the new infantile Orthodoxy imposed by folks in authority like my mrs
who work in education with primary school children...

Yeah, my wife uses "pooh" also. Makes me gag, but I think it must be a wife thing that comes with the marriage certificate...

Fortunately my wife shares my views about the word. Or maybe it’s me who shares her views.

It's also amusing the words we feel obliged best to use
when discussing such functions with doctors and nurses..

I can't think of any other time or circumstances when I'd call a turd a 'stool' or 'faecal matter'...

Somewhere I've got a little book produced for doctors, especially those from other countries, giving all the terms that Englishpeople are liable to use. "In the club" or "up the duff", for pregnancy, for example.

And it’s careful to identify the expressions doctors need to understand, but which it’s better for them not to use. That's to guard against having a doctor say things like "how is your pissing, Mrs Jone?"

'Bunged up' is the one that I suspect causes a lot of confusion. Is the patient suffering from a head cold or constipated?

:D tG

..and mine..
My mum's side of the family were evacuated from Brum during the war,
their extended family eventually settling in Scrumpyshire...

It was a firm favourite word of my grandad and my uncle [his bro in law]..

Is cack regional to the midlands...???

For one thing, it is highly disrespectful towards Winnie the Pooh, whom I hold in high regard.
