  • skipvia Fecaloid may be my new favorite word. May 21, 2009

  • yarb You're not wrong, rolig; I do like the sound of turd. But what I'm really after is a word that expresses the particular shape of one. What was the latin (or other classical language) for the stool, as distinct from the substance?

    *eyes flock of turd-birds nervously* May 21, 2009

  • reesetee Anyway, how do you think the poor birds feel?

    *readies the flock* May 20, 2009

  • rolig Of course you do, Yarb. But turdiform has been taken, and I'm sure you don't want Reesetee to send a flock of thrushes your way. Just ask Tippi Hedren what that's like. You might try fecaloid, coprolithic, or stercoraceous. But I suspect you just like the sound of turd. Am I right? May 20, 2009

  • yarb But rolig, I want a fancy neologism with a latin root!

    (Thanks for the love, c_b). May 20, 2009

  • chained_bear My nomination stands.
    (see here) May 20, 2009

  • rolig Try turd-shaped or turdlike, yarb. Turdiform is for the birds! May 20, 2009

  • yarb If this doesn't actually mean "turd-shaped", then what does? May 20, 2009

  • sonofgroucho I laughed too. May 18, 2009

  • skipvia Not very many words in isolation make me laugh, but this one does. I don't know if it's the initial mental image it conjures up or its potential as an insult. Maybe it's just because it has turd in it. Oct 15, 2008

  • chained_bear Though, you gotta admit, at first glance... Oct 15, 2008

  • reesetee Which would also explain the "avian" tag. Oct 15, 2008

  • chained_bear No. You can click on any of the dictionary links above. It has to do with thrushes--the bird. Oct 15, 2008

  • smeggo Poop-shaped? Oct 15, 2008
