I want a word to refer to words and names collectively, and a word to refer to peeing and pooping collectively (not “relieving yourself” since that is disgusting)
Wat
Voiding
Excreting
Evacuating
EliminatingAnd yes, word is the word.
And yes, word is the word.
It seems like you are one of the twelve Americans who is unaware that the bird is the word.
Names are words, so “words” refers to both collectively. “Elimination [of waste]” or “voiding” for the second one.
Elimination
Scat fest. Mob shitting.
Battleshits.
In games I play, we call it a “bio break” or just “bio” because it can also include getting more water or snacks, or stretching after sitting for a little bit
Names are words. And make up one for the pooping and peeing thing. Something like peeooping, only more proactive.

Peelooping
This sounds like a different thing I’m imagining now. If anyone’s seen Upload…

A word for words and names? Nomenclature, terminology, lexicon…
A word for peeing and pooping collectively? Most words have other uses, but also pertain to both bathroom activities, like Excretion, evacuation, expulsion, waste, elimination… There are better words that specifically refer to each act individually, but not collectively. Just for peeing there’s urinate and micturate, and just for pooping there’s defecate.
One word? You should make up one, and see if it sticks.
Suggestions:
- peeping
- definate (pronounced deff-eh-nate)
- jettison
- expel
“Titles”?
If anyone is interested, you can call food and drink collectively “vinctuals”. That’s another one I was looking for.
“Victuals” is the source of the term “vittles”, if you’re feeling particularly folksy.
Brilliant! Thanks
“Refreshments” sounds more natural.
I guess it does, but it also seems to imply a small snack or small drink rather than being able to refer to meals and drinks of any size…
I honestly don’t think of drinks when I hear someone say “victuals”, just food. Also, if the word is new to you, be warned that the C and U are silent; it sounds like vit•tulz when spoken aloud.
Language: covers words and names
Peeing and pooping: https://www.thesaurus.com/browse/defecate
Excrete is pretty good as your collective word https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/excrete
Thank you but I’m unsatisfied with both “defecate” and “excrete” as they usually are interpreted to mean pooping, I think…
Even though that may not be technically the only use
How would language have ever come about then?
“1s and 2s”? … no, not good enough.
If you think “relieving yourself” is disgusting, use a polite white lie.
Just say you’re going to the bathroom to snort coke.
