vocabulary word of the day - coprophagia :o)

Post by CAMary »

I am "seriously" cracking up! You science folks get all of the :cool: vocabulary! Those who missed this need to read Polly's continuation of the probiotics thread....

Well, at least it gives some biological reaasoning for *why* animals eat poop :lol:

My kids have this really low-class/trashy habit of bringing up bathroom humor over dinner (not the "family mealtimes" I ever envisioned...) - last night we were trying to come up with a "term" for when people text message from on the throne....I believe the winner was "text-logging" :ROFL: And unfortunately - it's not just the boys - my husband *totally* eggs them on!! On the bright side my kids are *totally* comfortable discussing all bodily functions, which, growing up, I was not....but hopefully they know not do do this in front of company, lest we be renamed, I don't know - The Bundys? (insert any trashy last name here :wink: )

Anyhow - I think I have tonight's *vocabulary challenge* - Thanks!

Yep, I think you're gonna stump 'em with that one. LOL. Of course, someone will probably want to come up with a term for a coprophagist who is text messaging. LOL.

You know, there's also a term for someone with an obsessive interest in feces - a coprophiliac. I guess that applies to all of us in this group. Hahahaha.
