A bye

This topic is all about finding a fun and light-hearted way to refer to the process of emptying an ostomy pouch, instead of using the more clinical term "draining the bag." The idea is to make this everyday task feel a bit more cheerful and less awkward. Here are some playful suggestions and insights shared by the community:

1. Trapshooting
2. Turboturd
3. Dash-of-Splash
4. Easysqueeze
5. Vulcan Velcro Release (a nod to Star Trek)
6. Let ’er Rip, Then Drip
7. Blazing Saddles (a reference to the Mel Brooks movie)

The goal is to have a phrase that ostomates can use casually, like saying, “Back in a jiffy, gotta do some trapshooting.”

Additional suggestions and thoughts include:

- Pouch Purge, which can be shortened to "PP" for quick use.
- An amusing story about Arnold Schwarzenegger visiting a company, leading to the joke "The Turdnator."
- Other creative phrases from the community:
- Pastry Bag Express
- The Producer (for a Hollywood touch)
- Dash-of-Splash (a favorite among members)
- Pouch Purge / PP
- Turdnator (inspired by RV black-water tank cleaner)

Overall, the sentiment is that humor can help make living with an ostomy feel more normal and less uncomfortable.
