I'm feeling diarrheay?

November 3, 2008 5:30 PM

Is there a name for that feeling that you're about to have diarrhea? (What is it?) You know, the feeling that OMG I HAVE TO GO NOW OR IT'S GONNA END UP IN MY PANTS!!! That type of feeling.

It is indeed fecal urgency. Pretty much a medical term for this, though it's also in the Urban Dictionary.

The runs. Fits the, um, output, as well as the urgency.

If it's a solid deuce, I've heard the term "loggerheading," as in the turtle's poking his head out.

A "Lombardi", named after the rest area on the NJ Turnpike where this described feeling swept across my bowels. The race to the stall was a photo finish. 'nough said.

The last, most horrible stage of fecal urgency, in my experience, is the Cold Sweat.

Fellow MeFite rossmik calls it 'the Southern States rebelling'.
