ghost poop slang

What it Means to Have a 'Ghost Poop,' According to a Doctor

For when your poop feels paranormal.

Dr. Islam gives us three definitions of the elusive ghost poop: 1) the urge to poop that ends up only being gas, 2) a poop so smooth that it went down the drain before you could see it, and lastly 3) a visible poop in the toilet, but zero poop marks on your toilet paper after wiping.

As far as the first type of ghost poop, "This is caused by having too much air in the colon and in the rectum as well," he says. "It innervates or activates the nerves inside your colon [and rectum] and gives you that urge to have a bowel habit." The culprit? Eating gassy foods, being constipated, or even swallowing too much air.

The main way to prevent this ghastly gas is simply to avoid eating foods that give you lots of gas, avoid swallowing too much air (typically by drinking straws), and keeping your bowel movements regular, he suggests.

The second ghost poop isn't one to worry about, Dr. Islam says. It should actually be celebrated for being such an amazing bowel movement.

The third type of ghost poop might feel bizarre, but it's also nothing to fear, according to Dr. Islam. "It's like a ghost that leaves no trace," he says. This is a sign you had a poop so small or so smooth that simply didn't leave a mark—zero cause for alarm.

Dr. Islam's tips for your best poop yet, with or without ghost poops? Eat more probiotic and magnesium foods like kimchi and whole grains , spend less time on the toilet, and consider in a bidet and Squatty Potty for cleaner, more efficient bowel movements.

Ever Had A 'Ghost Poop'? This Doctor Has News For You

A phantom faeces. An elusive excretion. Whatever you want to call it, ghost poops – bowel movements that either don’t leave a trace on the toilet paper or aren’t visible in the toilet bowl at all – can be a baffling experience.

Recently, TikTok creator Janine Bowring shared her insights into the confounding experience. “If you have this type of poop, you may just be the healthiest person on the planet,” the TV personality and naturopathic doctor began her video .

“It is the ghost poop – the kind of poop where you look in the toilet, you’re like, ‘I’m sure I pooped,’ but it’s gone,” she said.

Gastroenterologist and Men’s Health columnist Dr Sameer Islam agrees, saying he would “celebrate” if he had this type of bowel movement.

So, here’s why ghost poops can spell such good news for your gut – and when it might be cause for consideration.

Let us turn to our good friend, the Bristol stool chart

You probably already know that different poos look and feel different. A quick peek at the Bristol stool chart shows that smooth, soft, sausage-like bowel movements are a positive sign your diet and gut are working as a great team.

These are the types of faeces most likely to cause the ghost poop phenomenon, Bowring says in her video . In this instance, the poo sinks to the bottom of the toilet so you can’t actually see it.

Whether you notice an invisible excretion or face a pristine sheet of toilet paper after wiping, Bowring claims “it’s because you’ve got that fibre, you’ve got enough of those essential fatty acids, [and] your circadian rhythms are in tune with nature.”

Dr Islam adds that a poop you can’t spot in the toilet bowl could just mean you’ve had a “magical” healthy defecation session, or that the bowel movement could be smaller than usual. “Not a big deal,” he says.

@j9naturally What Does THIS Poop Mean? 💩 Dr. Janine provides valuable insight into the significance of the ghost poop. This type of poop, where you feel like you've passed something but nothing is visible in the toilet or when wiping, may suggest that you are one of the healthiest individuals out there. It is a sign that your body is receiving adequate amounts of fiber and fatty acids while maintaining proper circadian rhythms aligned with nature. Understanding the nuances of your bodily functions can be an important indicator of overall health and well-being. #poop #guthealth #circadianrhythms #pooptok #wellness ♬ original sound - doctorjanine Bowring, ND

Here’s when you might want to rethink your diet

There’s a third type of ghost poop, though – one which feels like a full-on bowel movement, but which is actually just gas. This can be a cause for concern, Dr Islam shared in a YouTube video .

This happens when you’ve got too much air in your gut, which “innervates or activates the nerves inside your colon [and rectum] and gives you that urge to have a bowel habit,” the doctor shared.

The NHS says that this “can be caused when you swallow air or eat foods that are difficult to digest.” Culprits include fatty foods, smoking, overeating and drinking through straws.

Sometimes, too much gas can be a sign of a health condition. But if your gassier days clearly stem from swallowing too much air or going heavy on the snacks, there might be less of a cause for concern.

And if your ghost poops take the form of either of the other two types, then congrats – your guts are likely in great nick.

Truth behind the ‘ghost poo’ and why it actually happens

People have all sorts of names for their poo.

I know, it's a bold topic for a morning, but you're the one who clicked this article.

There's a classic sh*t and the polite 'number two', but if you've ever plopped out a poo only to find there's absolutely no sign of it on the toilet paper, then you, my friend, have experienced a 'ghost poo'.

You're confident you felt it leave your body, but still the toilet paper remains clean and you might not even be able to see the poo in the bowl, making you have doubts about what just happened.

Surely it's not the poo itself that's a phantom, so why does the 'ghost poo' happen?

Doctor and TikToker Janine Bowring has taken to the platform to explain the phenomenon, revealing that not only does it save you a bit on toilet paper, but it also is a sign that you're in good health .

Revealing a whole plate full of fake poos - again, you brought this on yourself - Bowring said: "If you have this type of poop, you might just be the healthiest person on the planet.

"It is the ghost poop. The poop where you look in the toilet, you're like 'I'm sure I pooped, but it's gone'... you even wipe and you're like 'I thought I pooped, I don't see anything."

The doctor went on to explain why this can happen, revealing that one of the reasons is because you 'probably have enough fibre ' in your diet.

"It's because you've got that fibre, you've got enough of those essential fatty acids, your circadian rhythms are in tune with nature, with the light and dark cycle of the day, and you've got that ghost poop," she said.

Dr. Bowring's claims were echoed by NHS GP Dr Philippa Kaye, who confirmed that unloading yourself without any trouble is a sign of good health.

Per The Sun, she explained: "Stool which is easily passed without straining yet isn't too loose can be a healthy stool as it is not constipation or diarrhoea.

"A normal bowel habit can range from several times a day to twice a week. The key is to know what is normal for you and to see a doctor if this changes."

If you've never experienced a ghost poo, you might want to think about upping your fibre and fatty acid intake - not only could it improve your health, but it might just save you some money on toilet paper, too.

What happens if poop sinks?

By: Author Tony Havelka

If poop sinks, it could create a number of issues. Poop sinking can lead to health risks for humans and animals, it can cause water pollution, and it can create a breeding ground for disease-causing bacteria.

When poop sinks, it can come in contact with the bottom sediments which are already filled with bacteria and other pollutants. As the poop decomposes, these bacteria and pollutants can become more concentrated.

This increases the risk for humans and animals who use the water for drinking as well as for recreation and agriculture. Additionally, these pollutants can also impact aquatic life, as bacteria and contaminants can be absorbed into the food chain.

Another potential problem with poop sinking is water pollution. When poop is released into the water, it contains nutrients and other pollutants that can cause an increase in the amount of algae and other aquatic organisms.

This can lead to a decrease in oxygen levels in the water, resulting in the death of fish and other aquatic life.

Finally, if poop sinks to the bottom of the water, it can create a breeding ground for disease-causing bacteria, as the conditions are ideal for their growth and reproduction. This can lead to increased cases of water-borne diseases, as well as contamination of food and water supplies.

Overall, poop sinking can create an array of dangerous situations, and it is important to take measures to prevent it from happening in order to protect our health and the environment.

What is ghost poop?

Ghost poop is a phenomenon that some people believe is real, although the evidence for its existence is purely anecdotal. It is said to be a type of ectoplasmic matter that manifests itself as a substance similar to excrement, although it can be any color, shape, or texture depending on the individual ghost.

Generally, it is said to be almost invisible and can be found where ghosts are believed to loiter or haunt, or near objects they are said to interact with. Reports of ghost poop are often used as evidence of paranormal activity, but caution should be taken in believing such claims as there is no scientific evidence to support its existence.

What does a phantom poop mean?

A phantom poop is a term used to describe the sensation of needing to go to the bathroom but not actually being able to move your bowels. It is usually accompanied by abdominal discomfort and the need to strain.

This sensation can be caused by a number of things, including stress, eating too much or too quickly, or being constipated. If a person experiences phantom poops on a regular basis, it is wise to see a doctor to look for any underlying medical issues as constipation, irritable bowel syndrome or even inflammatory bowel disease can cause these symptoms.

Fortunately, there are lifestyle modifications and medications available to help treat or manage the condition.

Why is there nothing on the toilet paper when I wipe?

Depending on the cause, there may be a few different solutions.

One potential cause of your issue could be the amount of water in the toilet bowl. If the water level is too low, then it may not be enough to adequately flush out wastes and therefore they may not be leaving residue on the toilet paper.

To rectify this, try flushing the toilet several times to make sure there is enough water in the bowl.

Another potential cause could be that there is a blockage in the drain pipe connected to the toilet. If there is a blockage, then it may be preventing the proper flushing of waste products out of the bowl and therefore it will not leave anything on the toilet paper when you wipe.

To remedy this, try using a plumbing snake or similar tool to try to clear the blockage.

Lastly, you may want to check the type of toilet paper you are using. Toilet paper that is too thick or rough can actually not fully break down in the toilet and therefore leave residue on the paper when you wipe.

To reduce this issue, try switching to a softer type of toilet paper.

Overall, there could be a few potential causes for why there is nothing on the toilet paper when you wipe. Depending on the cause, you can try different methods to determine what might be causing the issue.

Should poop float or sink?

The answer to this depends on a few factors, such as the diet of the individual and the amount of time it has been in the toilet. Generally speaking, however, healthy poop should sink to the bottom of the toilet bowl once it has been flushed.

This is because the majority of what we excrete is made up of water, which is denser than air and thus has a higher density. Furthermore, healthy poop should have a smooth texture and be light to medium brown in color.

However, if a person’s diet is high in fats, their poop may have a greasy appearance and may tend to float in the toilet. Furthermore, if the poop has been in the toilet for an extended period of time it may become gassier and could float due to the trapped air within it.

In conclusion, healthy poop should float or sink depending on the individual’s diet and the amount of time it has been in the toilet. Floating poop is generally indicative of a diet high in fats or that the stool has remained in the toilet for too long.

What is it called when you poop and don’t know it?

The medical term for pooping and not being aware of it is called “fecal incontinence,” a medical condition characterized by either involuntary bowel leakage or the inability to control one’s bowel movements.

This condition can occur as a result of a variety of causes, including problems with digestion, damage to the anal sphincter, weak muscles, nerve damage, and certain medications. Additionally, fecal incontinence can be a side effect of certain medical conditions such as Diabetes, Crohn’s disease, colitis, and rectal cancer.

Treatment for fecal incontinence can vary depending on the underlying cause and may include lifestyle changes, medicinal treatments, and/or surgery.

How do I completely empty my bowels?

In order to completely empty your bowels, it is important to have a healthy diet with plenty of fiber-rich foods, like fruits and vegetables, that can help to ensure regular bowel movement and help keep your digestive tract healthy.

Additionally, drinking plenty of water is essential to help keep your intestines properly hydrated and your stool soft.

If necessary, laxatives or stool softeners can also be used to help to empty your bowels completely, although it is important to speak to your doctor before using them. Regular exercises like walking and swimming can also help to encourage regular bowel movements.

Additionally, you may want to try biofeedback, which teaches you how to relax pelvic muscles and release tension in your intestines.

Finally, adhering to an eating schedule and avoiding processed foods can help to keep your digestion regular and bowel movements frequent. Practicing relaxation techniques like deep breathing can also help to reduce any stress or anxiety which could contribute to digestive problems.

What simple trick empties your bowels?

One simple trick for emptying your bowels is to make sure you are taking in enough fiber in your diet, as a diet high in fiber helps you to have regular, healthy bowel movements. Start by making sure that you are incorporating plenty of high-fiber fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes into your meals.

Additionally, drinking plenty of fluids, particularly water, can help you to stay adequately hydrated, both of which will help with regular “pooping. ” Additionally, there are certain foods that are known to “move things along” in your system such as apples, oatmeal, and prunes.

If lifestyle changes have not helped your constipation, you may want to consult with your doctor about potential medications that may help, although medications are not recommended for chronic constipation.

What empties your bowels every morning?

Going to the bathroom every morning is typically how people empty their bowels. Generally, this occurs after breakfast, though it can happen at different times for different people. When we eat, it activates the gastrocolic reflex, which stimulates contractions in the colon, which pushes outward and sends the contents in the rectum to be eliminated.

It is important to note that this response can be affected by dietary choices, lifestyle, and medications. For example, eating spicy, high-fiber foods can stimulate the gastrocolic reflex more intensely and lead to more frequent morning bowel movements.

Additionally, regular physical activity can help people establish a regular bowel schedule. Lastly, some medications, like laxatives and opioids, can cause further disruption to the normal rhythm of bowel movements.

Is your colon ever empty?

No, the colon is never completely empty. The colon is an incredibly important organ in the digestive system whose primary function is to store and absorb water and help move waste matter down the intestine.

The average human colon holds between 8 to 10 liters of material at any given time. This material consists of bacteria, mucus, particles of food, and some undigested waste. The colon also contracts and relaxes to form fecal matter, which is then released through the rectum.

As such, the colon is always full of some form of material and is never completely empty.

Is there such thing as a phantom poo?

No, there is no such thing as a phantom poo. The term “phantom poo” is not a medical term, but rather a colloquialism used to describe the sensation of wanting to defecate, even though there is nothing to excrete.

This sensation may be caused by a number of things such as irritation of the anal nerve, overactive bowel muscles, or gastroenteritis. People who experience this feeling should visit a doctor to determine the underlying cause and get the appropriate treatment.

What is poop slang for?

Poop is an informal term for feces, which is the waste material that comes out of the body after digestion. It is typically thought of as a something that is unpleasant and undesirable, and the word is often used to refer to something that is of low quality or inferior.

It can also be used as a term of endearment between friends or family members. Additionally, it can be used as a casual way of referring to someone or something that is particularly unpleasant or disliked.

Gen z mocks their millennial co-workers for using this slang wrong, how to speak to gen z: the ultimate slang word list revealed, social links for brooke kato.

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

OK, boomers — it’s time to get fluent in Gen Z.

The younger generation’s head-scratching lingo is befuddling elder coworkers as it seeps into Slack channels and Team chats across the nation.

Born between the years of 1997 and 2012, Zoomers have shaken up the corporate world by introducing their chronically online colloquialisms in the workplace, prompting the uninitiated to surf the web for a definition.

In the US, Google searches for “Gen Z slang” are up 123% and curiosity about “Gen Z words” has increased by 86%, according to data from communication and growth firm Movchan Agency .

“It’s truly amazing how our generation has developed its unique vernacular , incorporating phrases and emojis that have become widely recognized slang around the globe,” the agency’s PR manager, Emily Goldstein, said in a statement.

Now, a class in Zoomer-speak is in session.

Commonly used to describe someone’s appearance or accomplishment, “slay” is derived from the LGBTQ+ ballroom scene but has been adopted into the mainstream most notably by way of Beyoncé’s iconic hit “Formation,” in which she says, “I slay all day.”

Example: “Your outfit slays.”

Along that same vein, “to serve” — in other words, to serve a look — refers to looking good.

Example: “She’s serving in those shoes.”

Short for “duplicate,” the term “dupe” is commonly used to describe an alternate option, typically a more affordable version of cosmetics or clothing.

Online, Gen Zers share their “dupes,” or knock-offs, for designer products they otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford.

Example: “This Target purse is a Gucci dupe.”

It’s giving

If someone was wearing low-rise jeans, they’d be “giving” early 2000s. In other words, “giving” means to emulate, and is often used as a comparison. In some instances, it can be used as a

Example: “Her red lipstick is giving Taylor Swift.”

Short for “charisma,” a suave bachelor whose natural charm successfully woos women would be said to have “ rizz .” Maybe they’re not the hottest hunk in the room — or maybe they are — but their effortless flirtation somehow works.

Example: “Pete Davidson dates beautiful women — he must have rizz.”

Flippantly nicknaming a “mental breakdown” as “menty b” somehow softens the blow of the freak-out and, in part, normalizes mental health struggles through veiled humor .

Example: “I’ve had three menty b’s this month.”

The colloquialism for “delusional,” the term “delulu” is often used in a romantic context when the person reads into the actions of their crush a little too much or creates an irrational fantasy.

Example: “He smiled at me, he must like me.” “You’re being delulu.”

In brief: “Sus” is short for “suspicious.”

Example: “That milk smells sus, throw it out.”

“Side eye” is a way to vocalize judgment, referring to the action of giving someone a critical side eye for something they said or a decision they made.

Example: “You don’t like Taylor Swift? Side eye.”

Meaning that something is good, “slap” is commonly used to describe things like delicious food or incredible music.

Example: “This pizza slaps.”

It’s sending me

You send a meme to your team’s group chat and the Zoomer says it’s “sending” them. Really, they mean something is laugh-out-loud hilarious.

Example: “This photo of my dog in a Halloween costume is sending me.”

The brain isn’t braining

When the “brain isn’t braining,” then something doesn’t logically add up or isn’t understandable. (See also: the math isn’t mathing.)

Example: “I’m too tired to understand what you just said. My brain isn’t braining.”

Common W or L

Where the “W” refers to a “win” and the “L” a “loss,” a “common W” or “common L,” then, means to agree or disagree with something done or said.

Example: “He calls it Taylor Ham and not pork roll? Common John L.”

If “cap” is lying, then “no cap” is not lying, or “no lie,” usually in the context of saying something genuine.

The phrase, like many other Gen Z slang terms, is derived from AAVE, or African American Vernacular English.

Example: “I’m so happy for you, no cap.”

For the chronically online generation, a picture — or in this case, emoji — speaks louder than 1,000 slang words.

💀 — laughing to death

🙂 — conveys passive-aggressive tone

👁👄👁  — utter shock

🙃 — smiling through the pain of a bad day

🤡 — doing or saying something foolish

“While slang isn’t a new phenomenon within subcultures, Gen Z’s slang stands out for its versatility and widespread usage worldwide,” said Goldstein, whose use of slang words in the office is a reminder to embrace silliness.

“This slang is so authentic at its core that other non-Gen-A people become more relaxed whenever I use it,” she added. “It puts them off guard.”

What is ‘ghost poop’ — and why is it exploding on TikTok?

Now you see it — now you don’t.

Something is brewing on TikTok — and it could be the result of your morning cup of coffee.

“A ‘ghost poop’ is a term used to describe when one’s stool sinks to the bottom of the toilet and seemingly vanishes without a trace,” gut health expert and registered dietician Julie Balsamo told The Post in an email on Tuesday.

In other words, if you’ve ever gone to the bathroom and then looked into the toilet, only to see your feces disappear, it means that you’ve experienced the elusive “ghost poop” — and the same thing goes if you’ve wiped and there’s nothing on the toilet paper.

As the subject of a hashtag with more than 15 million views on the social media platform , ghost poop is something that should be celebrated, as it’s the result of a healthy bowel movement — most of the time, at least.

One Canadian-based naturopathic doctor, Dr. Janine Bowring, even claimed in a video with more than 7.3 million views this week that if you experience this kind of bowel movement, it could mean that you’re one of the “healthiest people on the planet.”

What Does THIS Poop Mean? 💩 Dr. Janine provides valuable insight into the significance of the ghost poop. This type of poop, where you feel like you’ve passed something but nothing is visible in the toilet or when wiping, may suggest that you are one of the healthiest individuals out there. It is a sign that your body is receiving adequate amounts of fiber and fatty acids while maintaining proper circadian rhythms aligned with nature. Understanding the nuances of your bodily functions can be an important indicator of overall health and well-being. #poop #guthealth #circadianrhythms #pooptok #wellness

Bowring alleged that your poop has gone into the abyss of the toilet bowl due to the result of a healthy diet and sleep cycle.

“It’s because you’ve got that fiber, you’ve got enough of those essential fatty acids, your circadian rhythms are in tune with nature with the light and dark cycle of the day, and you’ve got that ghost poop,” she explained in the clip.

And, according to California-based Registered Dietician Nutritionist Amanda Sauceda , it can also mean that your body is properly hydrated.

“If you’re wiping and there’s no residue on the paper, that can mean your diet has a good amount of fiber in it and you’re adequately hydrated,” Sauceda explained in an email to The Post on Tuesday.

Sauceda also added that you shouldn’t stress if you’re not having a ghost poop every day, as diets fluctuate — which means that our stools will, too.

Another TikToker named Steven Wright , founder of the supplement company The Healthy Gut , seconded Sauceda’s thoughts in a May 2022 video, revealing that these kinds of bowel movements are “ideal” — but you shouldn’t expect to have them all the time.

“When I say ideal, it’s because it’s what we’re shooting for on a regular basis, but it’s probably not going to happen every day,” he said in the clip, which has since amassed more than 50,000 views.

Wright also claimed that a “ghost poop” is considered a “four” on the Bristol Stool Chart — a research tool that “classifies feces” into seven different categories in order to tell you about the health of your bowel movements, according to The Cleveland Clinic .

A “four” on the BSC indicates a thin and “snakelike” poop that is also smooth and soft in texture.

Sauceda advised that “hard, pellet-like poop” and poop with “a lot of cracks on the surface” are both not “healthy” — ranking as a 1 or a 3 on the BSC.

To achieve a smooth and “snakelike” ghost poop, people should try to eat more plants and consume foods that have fiber in them.

Even more crucial is making sure that you’re staying hydrated, as fiber has a harder time moving through the gut without water.

“Plants are your best fiber foods, and fiber helps you poop easier and keeps you pooping on the regular,” Sauceda told The Post. “Some stand-out fiber foods are avocado, berries, beans and whole grains.”

However, in some cases, the ghost poop could also be a sign of malabsorption, according to Balsamo.

“While this can be indicative of healthy digestion, it should not be solely relied upon as a definitive measure of one’s digestive health,” Balsamo explained.

“On one hand, floating stool may suggest the presence of steatorrhea (excess fat in the stool) or malabsorption. However, it can also be attributed to a high fiber diet, which can lead to increased gas production.”

If you don’t find yourself having many — or any — ghost poops, you shouldn’t be alarmed, either.

In fact, having a ghost poop every day isn’t always ideal, Sauceda noted, as you are unable to see the changes in your feces if it just disappears all the time.

“It isn’t ideal 100% of the time because you can’t observe any changes in your poop,” she wrote. “If the poop disappears in the toilet bowel right after you go, then you won’t be able to see if there are color or consistency changes.”

And having a floating stool does not necessarily mean that you have some kind of underlying health condition, according to Balsamo.

“It is crucial to assess the overall context and consider other factors before drawing conclusions,” Balsamo advised.

She described that it’s important to seek the advice of a medical expert if you have a “specific concern” regarding what’s been left in the toilet after you go to the bathroom, or if you’ve had changes to your digestive health.

Sauceda also pointed out that if you’re not going to the bathroom very often, that should be another sign to talk to your doctor.

“Pooping is like taking out the trash and you want to be doing it often,” she told The Post. “If you’re going more than three days without pooping, that could be a sign to talk with your doctor.”

10. The Runs – Refers To Diarrhea:

“The runs” – a charming and somewhat comical term for what can be a truly awful experience. When you’ve got diarrhea , running to the bathroom every five minutes can feel like running to the hell.

The Inside Poop On 'Spoopy'

What to Know Spoopy is amusing internet slang describing cute, comical, or silly versions of typically spooky subject matter such as ghosts and skeletons. Cute dog in a sheet-ghost costume? That’s spoopy!

Spoopy (inflected as spoopier and spoopiest ) might startle people, especially around Halloween season. One reason is that it resembles spooky , and a person might see its formation as a jaw-dropping typo. Another is that it has poopy (you know, child-speak for poop ) in it, which makes its spelling amusing to people who enjoy bodily humor. (Everyone.) Millennials will tell you that spoopy is fun internet slang—and they'd probably be more than happy to share some memes with you to prove it.

Borderlands 3 launched just last week and already Gearbox Software is talking up its plans for themed events. That’ll be “Bloody Harvest,” next month’s spoopy Halloween homage. — Owen S. Good, Polygon , 20 Sept. 2019

Anything but chocolate, please.

Essentially, the word is used to describe something that typically would be spooky, like an image of a skeleton or ghost, but is actually rather comical (often because of how it is graphically modified or manipulated, amusingly captioned, or just plain silly). The word has other connotations as well: it is sometimes used for things that are intended to be spooky but simply fail to scare, or it describes something that mingles cuteness with spookiness in a grotesque way.

Origin of Spoopy

The origin of this internet sensation is, unsurprisingly, spooky . It is a comical (we assume) misspelling of that adjective that was spotted on a department store's Halloween sign written in a "skeletal" font and photographed. The image was then uploaded to the internet ; in short order, spoopy went viral.

Other spoopy misspellings of words have circulated the internet—such as creppy for creepy and doo for boo —but they don't have the same internet virality as spoopy , which has also spawned spooptacular and spoopiness .

The popularity of spoopy seems to be due to its amusing, childish sound: it's fun to say; it has the word poopy in it; and it toys with the science of linguistics as an illogical derivation from spooky . (Really, why the "p" substitute? Something spoopy will rarely be frightening enough to scare the, uh, doo out of you—right?)

The word is usually used on social media, but it is gaining currency in edited prose.

It's a message of authentic weirdness that's deep in the heart of beloved spoopy classic Beetlejuice , where Winona Ryder's Lydia Deetz, a self-proclaimed strange and unusual person, finds companionship with the ghostly couple living in her house. They join together to try and scare Lydia's oh-so cultured parents out of town, eventually summoning Beetlejuice, the fixer of the afterlife, played in the oddest way by Michael Keaton. That movie, too, is full of horrifying moments that would send you running out of the room if done by Wes Craven ..., but like before, it's not without its laughs and message of a found family. — Petrana Radulovic, Polygon , 21 Sept. 2018

The Curious Case of Ghost Poops

El Duderino

Poop comes in countless shapes, sizes, consistencies, and smells . Perhaps the form of your fecal matter is remarkably consistent and you rarely see any surprises. But for some people, poops are like a box of chocolates—you never know what you’re gonna get.

One type of turd that has recently generated buzz is a ghost poop.

The scholars at Urban Dictionary defined ghost poops as “The single most satisfying bowel movement that man is capable of.” 

Generally speaking, a ghost poop means you experience the relief of a bowel movement without seeing any evidence of it, whether inside the toilet bowl or when you wipe your butt . However, There’s a heated debate online as to what exactly constitutes a ghost poop.

Rather than taking a hard side, we deferred to a doctor to explain the full spectrum of this mysterious phenomenon.

What Is a Ghost Poop?

As gastroenterologist Dr. Sameer Islam explains on his YouTube channel , there are three types of bowel movements that can be defined as ghost poops. Let’s break down each one and explain why (and how) they happen.

1. Poop That Doesn’t Leave Any Remnants When You Wipe

In rare instances, poop slides out so smoothly that it doesn’t leave any residue around your butt hole. This stands in stark contrast to those problematic poops where you wipe endlessly and can’t seem to get yourself clean. 

According to Dr. Islam, there are two explanations for poop that makes a clean getaway. The first is that you had really good, healthy poop. “Not every single bowel movement needs to have something residual left in your bottom,” he says. 

The second explanation is that you had a very small bowel movement. “Sometimes small bowel movements don’t leave any trace behind…not a big deal.”

Considering the lack of maintenance involved, these are one of the most prized types of poops. BuzzFeed writer Becky Barnicoat called ghost poops “insane, mythical, and highly sought after.” Urban Dictionary went as far as calling it “the king of all poops.”

If you want to increase your number of easy, smooth poops, Dr. Islam recommends adding prebiotic fibers to your diet, such as asparagus, bananas, apples, and oats.

2. When You Try to Poop, But Only Farts Come Out

If you feel a bowel movement coming, but can only manage to squeeze out a few farts on the toilet, that’s another kind of ghost poop. 

“This is explained by having too much air in the colon and in the rectum,” says Dr. Islam. “It activates the nerves inside your colon and the rectum, giving you that urge to have a bowel habit.”

Even though you don’t poop, you may still feel relief from releasing all that tension in your gut. In most cases, this type of ghost poop is caused by eating a lot of “gassy” foods like artificial sweeteners or swallowing too much air (usually because of drinking straws).

Mistaking poop for a fart is generally harmless. However, mistaking a fart for a poop has dire consequences (for more on this, check out our sharting survival guide ).

3. Poop That Disappears Down the Drain

In most cases, poop either sinks to the bottom of the toilet bowl or floats on top of the water . But it’s also possible for poop to slide down the drain without leaving a trace—you feel it, but you can’t see it. This is the third and final variation of ghost poop. It’s like an Olympic diver who goes straight to the bottom of the pool without making a splash.

That usually happens when your poop is long and smooth—a sign you have a super healthy gut .

“I would celebrate—you had a magical, ghostly poo,” says Dr. Islam. “Not a problem at all, nothing to worry about.”

Yes, You Need to Wipe After a Ghost Poop

Even if your undercarriage isn’t slathered with fecal matter, it’s still wise to wipe while you’re on the john. A quick maintenance wipe prevents swamp ass , stops bacteria from building up, and saves your undies from skid marks.

Don’t punish your butt with dry toilet paper though—keep your third pit fresh AF with flushable DUDE Wipes . They’re infused with aloe and Vitamin E to sooth your nether regions and help you steer clear of swassy situations.

As Dave Portnoy reminds us, “When you’re rich, only two things matter: flying private and cleaning your asshole.”

Popular Slang Searches

Slang for ghost.

As you've probably noticed, the slang synonyms for " ghost " are listed above. Note that due to the nature of the algorithm, some results returned by your query may only be concepts, ideas or words that are related to " ghost " (perhaps tenuously). This is simply due to the way the search algorithm works.

You might also have noticed that many of the synonyms or related slang words are racist/sexist/offensive/downright appalling - that's mostly thanks to the lovely community over at Urban Dictionary (not affiliated with Urban Thesaurus). Urban Thesaurus crawls the web and collects millions of different slang terms, many of which come from UD and turn out to be really terrible and insensitive (this is the nature of urban slang, I suppose). Hopefully the related words and synonyms for " ghost " are a little tamer than average.

The Urban Thesaurus was created by indexing millions of different slang terms which are defined on sites like Urban Dictionary . These indexes are then used to find usage correlations between slang terms. The official Urban Dictionary API is used to show the hover-definitions. Note that this thesaurus is not in any way affiliated with Urban Dictionary.

Due to the way the algorithm works, the thesaurus gives you mostly related slang words, rather than exact synonyms. The higher the terms are in the list, the more likely that they're relevant to the word or phrase that you searched for. The search algorithm handles phrases and strings of words quite well, so for example if you want words that are related to lol and rofl you can type in lol rofl and it should give you a pile of related slang terms. Or you might try boyfriend or girlfriend to get words that can mean either one of these (e.g. bae ). Please also note that due to the nature of the internet (and especially UD), there will often be many terrible and offensive terms in the results.

There is still lots of work to be done to get this slang thesaurus to give consistently good results, but I think it's at the stage where it could be useful to people, which is why I released it.

Special thanks to the contributors of the open-source code that was used in this project: @krisk , @HubSpot , and @mongodb .
