Opening Webster’s Third New International Dictionary, I have twice stumbled across amazing words that, for some reason, tend to the excretory (which is also in the dictionary).
I have no explanation. I hope it’s coincidental, not psychological, but either way, the words are delightful but difficult to use in day-to-day communication.
Feculent: Foul with impurities or excrement; covered with filth; abounding in sediment or noxious matter; fecal.
Stercoration: (Archaic) The act of dressing with manure; manure, dung.
