Everything associated with babies
is usually considered cute and adorable, including the elimination of body
waste. Call it what you will: potty, or doody, boom boom or poopy, but at some
point in life the cozy euphemisms no longer apply. When is that all-important
moment when snuggly slang metastasizes into a clinical word like stool? Read about it (here).
The last time I heard it personally, was when my mother had surgery. Later she had to take stool softeners.
