    Default Why do we say? "I got to TAKE a poop." Educated debate

    Yes my title of this thread says what it means. Looking for opinions, educated but of course I know I will get a little sarcasm, some jokes, etc. (We all need a good laugh.)




    Back story; my wife who is Mexican (US Citizen for many years) and proud of it is bilingual; both Spanish and English. Even after 20 years of speaking English she asks me quite often questions regarding American English slang.

    Tonight she asked me; "Why do you say? I am going to TAKE a poop. Your are not taking anything, why on Gods green earth would you voluntarily TAKE a poop. You dispose of it."

    For the life of me I could not really come up with a good answer. Just something we say right? In fact I myself started questioning where in history did we start saying; TAKE or TAKING a poop.

    What say you all? Where in history did this start and of course why do we say this when it really doesn't make any sense?

    "The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles. --Jeff Cooper"
