Survival Guide for Taking a Dump at Work...

Anyone up for a game of Scatergories?

[Matt]

No thanks, Deanpaul.  I'm pooped.

[Jesse James]

I think the first time I heard it was on the Stern show, and even he didn't know what it was, so don't feel bad.  I guess we're just not supposed to know these things yet somehow we find them out... 

[Matt]

Yeah, that makes me feel a little better.  I've been familiar with the term "scatalogical" for a long time, and typically have an aversion to discussing such (fecal) matters, despite recent events.  I've just not heard the root of the word used to describe the various proclivities and fetishes and what have you.

And in my research last night, I also discovered I've been spelling the word incorrectly all this time.  It's "scat O logical," not "scat A logical."  And to me, that's just as em-bareASS-ing as anything else.

Thanks, Jesse.

[Jesse James]

This is classic.

BTW my favorite Scat...

[Matt]

I'm a bit dismayed to (donkey) punch "scat" into UrbanDictionary.com and find that the majority of the entries have to do with the topic of this thread.  The Velvet Fog would be rolling in his grave.

Scoodely-boo, scoodely-boo, scoodely-boodely-boodely-boo.

[Jesse James]

If someone photoshopped actual slang scat with that image I posted, I'd die laughing after a bout of projectile vomiting.

[Matt]

Yeah, and maybe change "scoodely-boo" to "scoodely-poo."  Or "doo," if you prefer.

Let's bring these two homophones together.  Blur the lines even more.

I'm truly hoping Rob doesn't have the time.

  I guess we're just not supposed to know these things yet somehow we find them out... 

And that's the really amazing thing about these way out there fetishes. . .not only did somebody somewhere think it might be really hot have a hooker **** on his face, or to **** a plush racoon, or whatever, but then they had to run out and tell a friend  "hey. . you know what really does it for me??"


There is also a difference in Corprophilia, which is centered around a sexual fetish, and Scatplay which is more about doing something shameful or taboo. . .along the lines of cutting oneself.   Working in college residence life, I've seen at least one case of scatplay come up every year and a half or so.  It's really very sad. .. a compulsion to play with poo as some sort of self loathing act.

Scat, though, is a perfectly appropriate synonym for feces.  Mainly used to describe droppings of wild animals . .. bear scat, deer scat, etc.

And finally. . this is by far my favorite Urbandictionary entry on the topic:
