# That is interesting.
I shall redress this immediately*

I was under the impression that, whilst medically inexact, I was excresting the poo in that I was expelling it from my body?

I understand that I am not excreting poo from food cells, but I thought that I was excreting it from my person?

# I think it's one of those
words which had a very specific and technical meaning but has come into a more broad one. I wasn't expecting you to change it was just that I had been doing about last week in Biology.

Edit: Also, poo is what's left once the nutrients and water have been removed and mixed with other bodily fluids. It's not the product of a chemical reaction. You secrete it, you don't excrete it.

# I shall not change it,
I shall point out that I have been corrected.

# Technically accurate but...
It does make it sound like you sweat poo, which really isn't a nice thought.
