    I’ve never understood why people want the excrement from attractive people. Regardless of where it came from, it’s still excrement.

    (I’m considering gray water as excrement.)

      I’ve never heard anyone describe dead skin cells as excrement. I try not to be a prescriptivist, but I’m not sure grey water is a legitimate usage.

      I don’t understand it either, but using a word that most often means “fecal matter” tends to make things less attractive.

        I don’t know if you meant you weren’t sure bath water counts as gray water, but just in case, it does.

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greywater

        But excrement means any waste matter discharged from the body (especially, but not exclusively, fecal matter).

        https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/excrement

        So yeah, someone’s bath water is both excrement and gray water. But I’m not really talking about just bath water. I’ve seen someone buy a water bottle after a voice actress spit in it. And I know that people have bought celebrities’ shits too. So yeah, I meant more along the lines of any biowaste.

        To each their own, I’m just saying I’ve never understood it. It’s gotta be some fetish thing that I just don’t have. I collect autographs, but I’d be pretty upset if they spit on it too.

          I’m just saying that bath water is not discharged from the body. Biowaste might be a better word. Sorry, I know this is not an important point.

          I hope you enjoy your autograph collection. :)

      I would be surprised if it’s really her gray water. Usually such stuff is considered as a biohazard
