Scatology

In medicine and biology, scatology or coprology is the study of feces. Scatological studies allow one to determine a wide range of biological information about a creature, including its diet (and thus where it has been), healthiness, and diseases such as tapeworms. In psychology, a scatology is an obsession with excretion or excrement, or the study of such obsessions. (See also coprophilia). In sexual context scatology refers to sexual acts conducted with human (or other) excrement. In literature, "scatological" commonly describes works that make particular reference to excr ...

Toilet humour (also potty humour) is a type of humour dealing with bodily toilet functions. Public reference to bodily functions is taboo in many cultures. This genre also sees substantial crossover with the sexual humour genre, most likely because of the multiple-function nature of the body parts involved in both genre as well as the sexual fetishism involved with certain bathroom functions. Many artists have made their names promulgating toilet humour: Much of the lyrical content of avant-garde rock musici ...

Feces (American English) or fæces (Commonwealth English) are semi-solid waste products from an animal digestive tract expelled through the anus (or cloaca) during defecation. In humans, defecation may occur (depending on the individual and the circumstances) from once every two or three days to many times a day. Hardening of the feces may cause prolonged interruption in the usual routine and is called constipation. The word faeces is the plural of the Latin word faex meaning "dregs". There is no sin ...

Feces are also known as scat and scatology is the study of feces. Informally, the word "excrement" has become synonymous with feces; a usage based upon the incorrect belief that feces are a product of excretion. The words shit and doodoo are vulgar terms for feces in English. Coprophagia is the practice of eating feces. This is unusual, but some herbivores with a high-fiber/low-protein diet (such as rabbits) eat their own feces as a normal part of metabolism. Plant matter the animal consumes is digested in two passes, wi ...

Main articles: Toilet, Latrine, Sewage. The problem of efficient feces disposal existed since the times when people started to live in permanent settlements, primarily for the reasons of cleanliness and odor. Toilets were known in ancient India (dated as early as 2,500 BCE), in Ancient Rome, Egypt and China. Over time it has become clear that the disposal of feces is an issue of hygiene, since feces contribute to spreading of diseases and intestinal parasites. It is a matter of at ...

In the medical profession, feces are referred to as stools. This comes from the Anglo-Saxon word stol, which means "seat". The word stool was originally used to describe the seat one sat on to defecate. So, an euphemism was that they were "going to stool". By the end of the 16th century, the word stool was used to mean the same thing as feces. Feces will usually be required for microbiological testing, looking for an intestinal pathogen. Biochemical tests done on feces include fecal elastase and fecal ...

A quick test for fecal contamination of water sources or soil is a check for the presence of E. coli bacteria performed with the help of McConkey agar plates or Petri dishes. E. coli bacteria uniquely develop red colonies at temperature of approximately 43 °C (110 °F) overnight. While nearly all strains of E. coli are harmless, their presence is indicative of fecal contamination, and hence a high possibility of ot ...

Main article: Human feces Human fecal matter varies significantly in appearance, depending on diet and health. Normally it is semisolid, with a mucus coating. Its brown colouration comes from a combination of bile and dead red blood cells. In newborn babies, fecal matter is initially yellow/green after the meconium. This colouration comes from the presence of bile alone. In time, as the body starts expelling excess dead red blood cells, it acquires its familiar brown appearance. Throughout the life of an ordinary human, one may ...

Not all words ending in -ology are ologies in the above sense. In some words such as tautology and haplology, the -logy suffix is from the Greek λογος, word, and denotes not a field of study but a type of speech or writing. For example, haplology means the mistake of saying one letter, syllable or word when two or more are required, as in the example of pronouncing the word February somewhat like "Febuary". It should also be pointed out that some words mean to study something, bu ...

Although technically incorrect, "-ology" is sometimes used to describe a subject rather than the study of it. Technology is a typical example. This usage is also widespread in medicine; for example, pathology is often used for specific disease ("We have not found the pathology yet"). "Ology" can be appended to any word, humorously, when describing its study; such as beer-ology or Wiki-ology. There are a few irregular exceptions to the ending "-ologist"; f ...

After leaving Psychic TV, John and Peter's first work together was under the name "Zos Kia", although that recording was not released until much later into Coil's career. It was while working on their first official release, How to Destroy Angels that they settled on the name Coil. That single track 12" record was described as "ritual music for the accumulation of male sexual energy", and was said, by Coil, to have been produced under a variety of technological, spiritual, and meteorological conditions which the band felt to be ...
