ORIGINAL: kiwisub12 Umm - I'm 53 and refer to it as "pee and poop". I dislike intensely the terms shit and piss, and won't use them. Of course, if i was totally eradite and said feces and urine, there might be those that wouldn't understand what i was talking about. I don't think i am immature, juvenile or any other terms you might wish to use. I also don't swear a lot. so, from all of this, you can gather that i don't think the p and p terms denote immaturity, or make people look down on those that use them. And if they did, then shame on them. But then again , i would consider someone who would get upset about something they can't change to be a bit ....... screwy. Like we used to say, women don't fart, they "poot". As far as I'm concerned, I file it under the category, "whimsy", and I've got nothing against whimsical as opposed to graphic, although I'm personally inclined a bit more towards the graphic most of the time. We all need a little whimsy form time to time I think, graphic, taken to it's logical extreme, ends up "stark" which can be off-putting. Either way, it's madness, and while I'm deeply fascinated by and attracted to madness, all in all, when it comes to madness, "potty" (gently mad) is generally preferable to "stark staring".
