Oh, crap

Bowel Movement. I'm sure you've heard this phrase before, and I'm sure you know what it means. The other day, though, it suddenly struck me what an odd "label" that is to use instead of the "other words" most often bantered about. It's such a descriptive phrase - it explains what part of your body is most significantly involved and what action it is taking.

So, that got me thinking: what if we described all of our actions that way? Would walking become moving my legs in propulsion? Listening become recognizing auditory patterns through my ear drum?

I believe that we typically use the shorter descriptions to save time - which is good, because I always run out of time. I really don't want to have to sit here and move my fingers across the keyboard, striking keys with my fingertips ("type") so that you can scan a computer screen with your eyes that interpret the light signals into a recognizable communication form ("read"). Although, I do enjoy pwning noobs and tbagging because I'm l33t ("playing halo 2").

Next time you have a bowel movement, think about it. We don't really give enough attention to that, anyway
