Word of the Day

Oc-to-poop (v/n): What happens when your sweet infant son doesn't poop for a day, then makes up for it by filling his diaper with such a vast, soupy mess that upon being changed, manages to get it on all flailing limbs, much like an octopus. As a verb, usually accompanied by screeching, harpie-like sound emitted by parental figure and resulting in bath and protracted clean up. As a noun, could be considered akin to the octopus' method of self-defense.
Octopoop.
Say it with me.
Octopoop.

YOu're hilarious! Octopoop is the PERFECT word for what you're describing, both as a noun and as a verb. I would guess, though, that it feels and smells and looks like an action verb for quite a while before you can think of it is a just a noun. OR is it a linking verb--linking your nose and skin and hair and clothes and other next-of-kin with it?

It definitely linked itself to my shirt, that's for sure.
