...boy arent you just the little grumpy newbie to the site???
after spending a few minutes thinking about how to answer your question (your thanks were MUCH appreciated), and kicking around a number of words that bring up images that arent so pretty, yes... i felt a little "icked out". get over it. that you took it so personally is, well, a little odd. sensitive, are we? you poor dear. need some clean tightie whities?
and as for those not being the same things... look, ive worked in the hospital and if someone has a turd (**gee i hope im using this in the correct context**) in their pants youd very likely say "i have to go clean up grumpy clarence's bm" meaning bowel movement. even through this describes the action, it is also used in the context of the result of the action. i specifically didnt include this one because technically its the action, but in real use, it is also describing the thing.
when someone has to get a sample of your crap to analyze, they will ask for a stool sample, even though what you are giving them is a turd in a jar. maybe youd prefer we call it a T.I.J.? gosh, i hope we havent been confusing the lab up by using such an inappropriate word as stool!
i dont care if you agree or not. those terms ARE used in that manner.
ill leave it to you to fret the linguistics. itll make a lovely doctoral thesis. or cocktail party discussion. man ive spent way to much time on this %$#& already.
