Pooped Pants thread

[Mikey]

Ok,
This thread is not what you think --- and i'm glad too

Seriously though,

I've noticed there are two distinct ways people refer to the act spoken of in the thread title.
Each version averages about 50% in the American English language.

It's either .....

"he pooped his pants"

or

"he pooped IN his pants"

It's not a region thing either.
Both versions are everywhere.

Which version are you ?

I can honestly say i have never said pooped in my life and i hope to god i never do.

I think he is saying it the nice way (substitute the "S" word for poop and than say it).

"He pooped his pants" is what I say

[MegoGeekJr]

I'm more of the "he pooped in his pants" because it sounds more right to me.

For me, it would be like saying" this is the funnest game ever!"

I know there are people who say "he pooped his pants", and I respect them in any way possible.

(but seeing someone pooped in their pants would be more fun than a barrel of monkeys!)

In a way, this talk is very similar to our conversation a few years ago about how people pronounce the word crayons.

Is it

CRAY - ON'S
or
CRAN'S

I say CRAY - ON'S
I also say, "he pooped IN his pants"

[toys2cool]

I say CRAY - ON'S
I also say, "he pooped IN his pants"

Same here for both

While we're engaging in Scatology: then there's "Taking a Poop." and "Having a Poop."

[saildog]

I believe the "in" could be assumed, but I'm just as likely to say it either way.

I think using the word "having" is very British.
Like saying "have a guess"

I've never heard anyone in the US use the term "having" like that.

[SUP-Ronin]

"Dumped in his shorts" "Crapped his pants" "Dropped a deuce"

I used to work with a disgusting troll of a person who would regularly do this, and thought it was funny. He is about 42, and has no concept of hygiene at all. Oddly enough he has a rather big ego, and thinks very highly of himself. Not surprising however...he is single. Our Boss wouldn't do anything about it though because he was passive aggresive and a coward. As you can imagine I am glad to be rid of that dude, my boss too.

[mitchedwards]

I've always heard is as pooped his pants

[Adam West]

We say "pooped his pants". As already stated the "in" is already inferred.

Not really.
To me, "pooped his pants" sounds like he ate his pants and then pooped them out --- perhaps while wearing a different pair of pants

Exactly the same here.And I would never say taking a crap.That infers you are taking it with you when you leave???
Why would you take it on purpose unless it needs to be studied I guess.

And for the last time it is "COLOUR not COLOR...
Don't even get me started on the whole ZEE-BRA vs ZEB-BRA thing!!!

Why do we say "Get on a plane" when you actually get in it?
