Neologism, word playing, idiosyncratic humour

Yes, "krówno" or "krowno".

I may prefer "karamno", although it is not so clearly associated with the word for cow ("krowa").

In Russian and Macedonian languages I found rude word for feces with "m" instead of "v", so I formed the words "krómno" and "kromno".
In East Slavic languages there is "o" (which can be spoken as "a") between "k" and "r" in the word for cow, so there are words "korovno", "karavno", "korowno", "karawno", "koromno", "karamno".

I read a post about children with ASD few moments ago and I found such a sentence: czekam na dzień, gdy uslyszę od niego choćby niewinne "**wno" (I wait for a day when I hear from him at least innocent "**it") - posted by backwoodsman 24.02.13, 18:14, link to topic on one of Polish forums about ASD: http://forum.gazeta.pl/forum/w,10034,14 ... z_ZA_.html.

Another word for cow excrement is krauno (крауно), with "u" pronounced like "w" in English.
Karauno (карауно), korauno (корауно), karouno (кароуно), korouno (короуно) are other names for cow stool.

I may also name bovine feces krov' (кровь), which also means "blood" in Russian.

Dog feces in Polish could be piesno or psno. Cat stool - kotno.

^^^i'm fascinated that your language/s have that many different words for waste products

Those are neologisms invented by nca14.

But how about English? Sh!t, poop, stool, excrement, dung, feces - I'm sure there are more. Taboo topics always encourage linguistic creativity.

my fave is dookie

Dukie!

over here dookie is POC urban slang.

I may name cow excrement "kramno".
Dimunitives for bovine stool (in Polish) are: kramienko, krómienko, kromienko, krówienko, krowienko, karamienko, koromienko, koramienko, karomienko, korowienko, karowienko, karawienko.

For me nothing is as laughable as defecation, flatulence and parts of the body (buttocks, anus, rectum) engaged in them. But these body pants are immodest.

^^^i agree

I'm now 30 years old and yet I still never fail to crack a smile whenever I hear someone say "dookie".

Then again, it really doesn't take much to make me giggle at poo jokes. Not sure if I'm a fully-formed adult yet.

mee neether

I definitely don't mean to imply that's a bad thing.

...hee hee..."dookie".

interesting that it rhymes not with "cookie" but with kooky

It's interesting how seemingly arbitrarily language works like that to make certain words sound funny. Everything rests on that pronounced "OOO" sound, otherwise there's not much to giggle at.

i had read someplace, that in germany, a guaranteed ice-breaker and giggle inducer, was to say the word "fudge." anyways, here is a funny story using "OOO" words- [warning, adult content]

Three men were flying in a small plane over the ocean, when all of a sudden the engines cut out and they are forced to make an emergency landing near a small island. They are then greeted by some very hostile natives who take them before the big chief. The big chief asks the 1st man, "Death or Oogabooga?" The 1st man says, "I don't know what the hell Oogabooga is, but it's got to be better than death, so I choose Oogabooga." The chief then orders all the native men to punk out the 1st man until he is a pulpy heap. The chief then asks the second man, "Death or Oogabooga?" The 2nd man doesn't like the sound of either one now, but still chooses Oogabooga over being killed, and he too is punked to pieces. Finally the chief asks the 3rd man, "Death or Oogabooga?" He has already decided that he would rather die than suffer such an indignity, so he says confidently, "DEATH!" So big chief says, "OK, death.... by Oogabooga!"

When it comes to German, my favorite word in this language is das Gift.
