In Pennsylvania it's called the Hershey squirts.

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 20 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This sounds like a joke, but we really do say that!

[–] Chocrates@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago (1 children)

My dad used to say this. None of my family has ever even been to Pennsylvania to my knowledge though, lol

[–] iheartneopets@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

Same, I don't think this is a Pennsylvania-ism

[–] owatnext@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I have heard it called that and I physically recoil every time I hear it.

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago (2 children)

And underwear streaks are referred to as Hershey Highways.

[–] sunzu@kbin.run 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

the older you get, the more frequent the highways

Hershey PA contained by far the largest morbidly obese humans I've ever seen, like fascinating. All seats must be benches.

[–] ladel@feddit.uk 41 points 10 months ago

There's Dehli Belly as well. No alliteration, but it's got the rhyme.

[–] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 25 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I never liked the term Montezuma's Revenge. Moctezuma the Second was an accomplished leader and deserves more respect than to have his name misspelled with a diarrhea diagnosis.

That being said I got it right as I left Mexico from vacation and prayed for death to take me.

[–] tilefan@lemm.ee 25 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I like the idea that he's so powerful and vengeful that he's returning from the grave to fuck with Europeans

[–] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

His name translates roughly "angry lord" or "lord he who frowns/grimace" so I like the idea he's just mean mugging the descendents of man until the end of time.

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I totally agree with you on Moctezuma. Tourists ruin everything. Especially their own digestive tracts.

[–] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

I wanted to go see Tenochtitlan and Teotihuacán. Worth it.

"Beaver Fever" is the occasional Canadianism I've heard, although its specifically for giardiasis.

[–] Hugh_Jeggs@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

That sounds utterly horrific for a vagina

[–] Window_Error_Noises@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

It's probably a term used elsewhere too, but in the US Navy, when it's coming from both ends, especially stationed or deployed on ship, it's the double dragon. Ship food is bad. Ship food is rejected prison food. Moldy. Horrible. Absolute garbage. Garbage would probably be safer.

[–] m0darn@lemmy.ca 11 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Is that what we call Beaver Belly in Canada? (from drinking contaminated water?)

[–] vatlark@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

I have heard "beaver fever"... but typing it out for the internet just makes it sound like a euphemism.

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago
[–] Smurfe@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

US here. When I was a kid in the early 70s, in the Midwest we called it Hershey Squirts.

[–] HiddenLychee@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Feces Pieces, Dookie Crisp, poop loops, tootie pebbles,

[–] Okokimup@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago (2 children)

My mom taught me intestinal distress.

I'm not here to kink shame but that's pretty gross

I do know that when you're walking down the hall, and you feel something fall, it's diarrhea. Uh uh! Diarrhea !

[–] Devorlon@lemmy.zip 6 points 10 months ago

From Scotland and the family calls it "the runs".

[–] iamericandre@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Not a place around the world but when I was growing up there was a restaurant called genghis grill and it was really good but we called the aftermath Kahn’s revenge

[–] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I was in Bali talking to my Ballaniese mate who says he gets Aussie Belly haha

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Yeah, so so many aussies on Bali on the south end around Nusa Dua/Kuta/Seminyak. I stay away from all that stuff.

[–] darkpanda@lemmy.ca 5 points 10 months ago

The “stormy shits” in parts of Atlantic Canada.

[–] WhyFlip@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Explosive diarrhea is how I frequently excuse myself from events.

[–] Todini@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

The Havana Splatters

[–] z00s@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I like the actual German name for it, "durchfall". When I look in the toilet, it looks like something that would be called "durch". And yep, it fell right outta me lol

[–] meekah@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

German here, durch means through. As in it fell through your intestines. At least that has always been my interpretation

[–] Hugh_Jeggs@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Everyone in the UK of a certain age knows what durch means because of Audi

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Durch Audi is a much worse slogan than Das Auto

I think for a nice universal slogan we should rally...behind.... "Throwing soup"

Dirt Squirts

[–] prex@aussie.zone 3 points 10 months ago

The squits. You don't want to be a squitter

[–] amenotef@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Every time I get it (like once every 2-3 years) for me it's never with diarrhea.

Just agonizing with a lot of vomits, fever, congestion, coughing, muscle pain etc.

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Oof that's so much worse.

[–] Manzabar@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Huh, I'd never heard of this meaning to Montezuma's Revenge. I was only familiar with the old video game.

[–] Aeternal1@hilariouschaos.com 3 points 10 months ago

TIL a childhood game was a shitty joke I missed my whole life🤣

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

La tourista !
