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)

    I work outdoors, often in remote locations. Phrases I have used:

    • Make friends with a tree.
    • Speak with a tree/have a conversation with a tree.
    • Commune with the bushes.
    • Wander over this way alone.

    My field partner often speaks of watering or fertilizing the forest, which I find distasteful because it gives a sense of which act they’re performing and I really don’t need to know that about my boss.

      Those are great lmao.

      And wow yes, I hate it when someone says “I’m going to pee/piss” or “I need to take a shit”. Like just say you’re going to the bathroom, or, you know, voiding (jk) like a normal person.
