“I’m pooped!” Doug said as he flopped into the chair.
“Did you say am, or have?” I asked.
“Am,” Doug said.
So that was OK. But now I wonder: Under the right circumstances, could one say, “I am and have pooped”?

Surely the scatalogical conditions would have to be totally kosher to instigate this type of conversation…unless you’re Sarah Silverman.

I imagine one could say that after surgery, say.

Though, come to think of it, that might be “I have, and am, pooped.”

@the Ridger
That could even be said before surgery, depending on the situation and diagnosis.

I have had poops that were exhausting. I didn’t intend to be disgusting, it just, well, came out that way. (I’m covering up my head!)
On a language note though, since having a child and being socially responsible enough not to want him repeating the foul language (again!) that I commonly employed when childless, I find myself using “poop” and other equivalencies when around the rough, tough, manly men at work. It’s mildly embarrassing.

@LonnieHa Ha! I’ve employed the word “doo doo”, due to going through a test cycle of a more “Kinder and Friendlier Army” in Basic Training. Needless to say, the drill sergeants were a little frustrated that they couldn’t have big potty mouths or chew anyone out like they used too. All I heard was either poop or doo doo. They used great constraint.
