Confusing words...

A word that confused me as a child was… ‘Constipated’.

Up until about the age of 20 (sad I know) - I always thought this word meant or should mean that ‘you have the shits’ and not that ‘you can’t have a shit’.

It just sounds like something you’d say if you have a runny bottom isn't it…?
"I'm constipated today".



Yes, my mind is in the gutter again, I know… What’s new?
