I want a word to refer to words and names collectively, and a word to refer to peeing and pooing collectively (not “relieving yourself” since that is disgusting)
Excrete.
Discharge.
Slay.
Word???

Void
I think this is the one.

“I feel a void inside me. Brb.”

Thank you for your contributions.

Voiding
Excreting
Evacuating
EliminatingAnd yes, word is the word.

And yes, word is the word.
It seems like you are one of the twelve Americans who is unaware that the bird is the word.

“use the restroom”

What if you’re in the jungle?

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.

Names are words, so "words" refer to both collectively. "Elimination [of waste]" or "voiding" for the second one.

A word for word and names? Nomenclature, terminology, lexicon…
A word for peeing and pooping collectively? Most words have other uses, but also pertain to both bathroom activities, like Excretion, evacuation, expulsion, waste, elimination… There are better words that specifically refer to each act individually, but not collectively. Just for peeing there’s micturate, and just for pooping there’s defecate.
Someasy@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Urinate > micturate tbh… micturate sounds like you’re doing something ungodly to a mouse.

Online, we call it a “bio break” or just “bio” because it can also include getting more water or snacks

Sorry I didn’t mean to make fun, bio break is an excellent term

Elimination

Names are words. And make up one for the pooping and peeing thing. Something like peeooping, only more proactive.
Someasy@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Peelooping

This sounds like a different thing I’m imagining now. If anyone’s seen Upload…

One word? You should make up on, and see if it sticks.
Suggestions:
- peeping
- definate (pronounced deff-eh-nate)
- jettison
- expel

If anyone is interested, you can call food and drink collectively “vinctuals”. That’s another one I was looking for.

"Victuals" is the source of the term "vittles", if you're feeling particularly folksy.
Someasy@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Brilliant! Thanks

“Refreshments” sounds more natural.
Someasy@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I guess it does, but it also seems to imply a small snack or small drink rather than being able to refer to meals and drinks of any size…

“Titles”?

If you think “relieving yourself” is disgusting, use a polite white lie.

How would language have ever come about then?

“1s and 2s”? … no, not good enough.
