Another excellent usage encountered, thanks to my iPod:

"There on the poop, our gallant captain stands
Staring at the cross-trees, a spyglass in his hands.
What he is thinking of, we all know very well:
He's thinking more of shortening sail than strike,
Strike the bell

(Chorus)
Strike the bell, second mate, let us go below.
Look ye well the weather, ye can see it's gonna blow
Look at the glass, you can see that it has fell.
We're wishin' ye would hurry up and strike,
Strike the bell."
—Dramtreeo, Storm, "Strike the Bell"

I have found a Poopy Song. Here it is, in all its poopy glory.

about 1 year ago chained_bear said:

Exactly, oroboros. Not in front of you, but behind you. And a solid poop, not a... well, nevermind.

about 1 year ago oroboros said:

It's always good to have a poop behind you...unless it was an unexpected poop! ;o)

about 1 year ago reesetee said:

Wow. That's...really weird, chained_bear. Though I daresay that poop usually doesn't add much to one's dignity, despite what O'Brian says.

about 1 year ago chained_bear said:

No, but I read O'Brian in a courtroom with my spawn. Wordie isn't as portable. (No cell phones, etc. allowed)

Where, might I say, it is wonderful comfort to have a solid poop behind you.

...with your spawn?

You read Wordie in courtrooms?

Yet another hilarious usage of poop:

"'I believe we may attack the adagio directly,' said Stephen. 'The wind is in our poop, and we have never played better.'"
--P. O'Brian, The Commodore, 64
(This one made my spawn, who happened to be looking over my shoulder, giggle out loud in a courtroom.)

But this one's even better:
"'So she is the Bellona, the chief argosy of your command! ... Why, I declare, she has a poop, which adds much to her dignity.'"

Wait! Wait! It goes on:

"'When you are on the quarterdeck in a hot action with a really malignant enemy firing great guns and small arms, it is a wonderful comfort to have a solid poop behind you.'"

--P. O'Brian, The Commodore, 70

I went to Lowe's today and saw a beat-up old blue pickup in the lot with some junk lumber in the back. Its bumper sticker read:

I'm only speeding because I really have to poop.

over 2 years ago reesetee said:

It is a kick-awesome verb, wouldn't you say?

over 2 years ago skipvia said:

Plus, we're talking about poop again.

over 2 years ago skipvia said:

NO! That's a great pun! I wish I had made it. *still giggling*

over 2 years ago chained_bear said:

Nah, no problem. Probably everyone's relieved.

OH! OH! I made a horrible pun!!! It was *totally* not on purpose!!

*hides in shame*

over 2 years ago skipvia said:

Well, who's fault was that? Oh...mine. Sorry (ish).

over 2 years ago chained_bear said:

We've gotten away from poop here. I just thought I'd point that out.

You're welcome.

over 2 years ago reesetee said:

You think I was on the light side, skipvia? ;-)

Trivet, count me as a total bird nerd. Guilty as charged, and happy about it!

over 2 years ago trivet said:

Yup! Heard first at a raptor rehab center, but also out in the world of bird nerds.

over 2 years ago skipvia said:

Welcome to the dark side of Wordie, reesetee. :)

over 2 years ago reesetee said:

I've heard whitewash used to describe generic bird poop. Is that how you've heard it, trivet?

I can't believe I'm discussing this. ;-)

over 2 years ago chained_bear said:

Whitewash, trivet? I can't find that definition for that word.

I did find mutes, or more specifically mutess, in the OED, but it's a verb. I added it anyway. And also mute. Who knew mute meant a specific kind of excrement?

Well... trivet did, apparently.

over 2 years ago reesetee said:

Thought I saw mutes on that list. Signed, Too Lazy to Check.

over 2 years ago trivet said:

'S okay, R, I do love to commentate.

Hey, C_b - do you have mutes on your special poo list? I think they're specific to birds of prey. Also, whitewash.

over 2 years ago reesetee said:

Right. Thank you, trivet, for your gentle reminders that animals other than birds actually do exist. ;-) (I tend to get a little single-minded on the subject.)

over 2 years ago trivet said:

Or bats.

over 2 years ago reesetee said:

Guano, c_b. But it's only used in reference to sea birds.

over 2 years ago reesetee said:

Sionnach, be careful what you say around here--you may have launched a boob discussion by now!

Skipvia: Sure, sure, you can have a hat (note to John: skipvia wants a Wordie hat). Even a sword, as long as it's fake (note to John: I wouldn't if I were you). But T-Scratch? Do you need ointment? ;->

over 2 years ago chained_bear said:

Hey, it's uselessness who had the revelation! I just had an excuse to type in a really bad short poem about bird poo.

Hey... is there a special word for bird poo?

And by the way, boob is just poop upside-down. Wait... that's gross.

P.S. My Mafia name is Junior Mint.

over 2 years ago skipvia said:

Knowing c_b, probably right back to poop...:)

over 2 years ago sionnach said:

i'm paroxysming with the giggles over here. if you guys can do so much with poop, I can only imagine what a discussion of boob might lead to.

OK, reesetee. I have a rap name now. You may call me *wait for it* T-Scratch!

over 2 years ago skipvia said:

Dang. So, reesetee--do we get cool hats or anything? Ooh--could I have a sword?

Er, skipvia--we're all officers in Facebook's Wordie group.

Ah, Chuck Berry--probably our finest rock poet (unless it's Smokey Robinson).

I thought chained_bear was your rap name. Mine is flaming twit. I don't exactly roll with the gangstas.

But--I'm an officer in Facebook's Wordie group. Match that!

Skipvia, how did you guess my rap name?!

over 2 years ago skipvia said:

C_B, if you think "poop" would set off 5th graders, imagine the reaction that a social studies unit called "Westward 'Ho" would get from middle schoolers. I warned the teacher, but did she listen?...

over 2 years ago uselessness said:

Gross. Never, never feed me on the poop.

over 2 years ago chained_bear said:

Oh come on, it's not about impalement. Robins' heads *always* go "Niddle, Noddle." Listen next time you see a robin, and just SEE if you don't hear those exact words (with that exact punctuation).

I admit, I did take the poop out of poop deck. Or, not really, since the original sentence read something like, "Men were fed on the quarterdeck, women and children on the poop."

I remember it didn't even say poop deck, which changed its meaning entirely (from a modern perspective).

over 2 years ago yarb said:

I bet that nursery rhyme is about impalement.

n.b. You took the poop out of poop deck, CB?! For shame!

"Marilyn Manson says you should shoot your friends in the head with a gun! And everyone should eat babies! And rape their dead grandparents! And poop on a church!"

over 2 years ago reesetee said:

I know that poem!

Good grief; why am I admitting that?

over 2 years ago uselessness said:

Wow, in that way it's almost onomatopoeic. *does that finger-in-cheek popping noise thing*

over 2 years ago chained_bear said:

I came across my absolute favorite usage of this word at work (I swear), because I had to replace it (in the phrase "poop deck") in a text having to do with the slave trade that was going to be read by a bunch of 5th-graders.

You can see why it had to be replaced. The slave trade is not funny, but 10-year-olds would be so distracted by the word... anyway. Looking for when the meaning came to mean... you know... poop... I found this usage in the OED:

c1744 in Oxf. Dict. Nursery Rhymes (1951) 372:
Little Robin red breast,
Sitting on a pole,
Niddle, Noddle, Went his head,
And Poop went his Hole.

I'm so happy for you, uselessness. :-D

I just had a revelation concerning the word poop... it's a lousy noun but a kick-awesome verb.

"The milkwhite dolphin tossed his mane and, rising in the golden poop, the helmsman spread the bellying sail upon the wind and stood off forward with all sail set, the spinnaker to larboard."
