Take ~= have ~= do
Take a break == have a break, but a break isn't a tangible thing, so this is shorthand for "do the actions required to constitute a break"
I see that… but I would argue breaks can be given. Therefore one can take a break.
Break being almost a non continuation of something. There are two beings involved. And as you point out, you can also perform action consume a break.
Taking a poop is slightly different because one is giving an offering. Although one can consume poop too but I guess it’s a different frame.
Tons of people give a shit tho
Correct, but a different context than OP’s framing.
Some leave a shit, some give a shit. Can you give a shit by giving a shit? Hmm. Possible maybe under special circumstances.
Don’t mind me, these are poopy thoughts.
I’m just giving you shit

I don’t want to have a shit, either – I’m trying to get rid of the dang thing!
