Someone asked me yesterday to share with her any crude ways of saying, in English, to do one's business, and all I could come up with was "take a dump." I'm sure cruder stuff exists, but I was at a loss to come up with any.

I don't know if I've been away from English speaking countries too long or if I never hung out with the "right" people and actually learned those quaint phrases.

So, if you'd like to enlighten me, so that I might in turn enlighten my curious French friends, please be gross in the comments.

No!!! Keep going. :P

People did not play along as much as I wanted them to.

Here's one translated from French:

He has a chocolate biscuit on the tip of his lips.
("au bout des lèvres" in French, but I guess we would tend to say on the tip of his tongue. blurk.)

...taking a dump, shifting a load, making caca, dropping logs, and that temporarily exhausts my download, HOWEVER, there is this:

Laughed so hard I cried. What can I say? I'm a sucker for poopoo humor. (Which is almost as disgusting a phrase as chocolate on the lips.)

When in doubt, google

I only read through page 3. I was reading at work and laughed so much I embarrassed myself. My favorite of the ones I read: giving birth to a state trooper.

The slang dictionary is a great resource.
