      Unfortunately, defecating is exactly what it does. It’s not a euphemism. It is literally a pooping log!

        And the log it self is also a represenation of defecation. A similar use of the word log in english also exists.

          I think I willfully didn’t make that connection. I’m well aware of the English use of log for poop but I guess I hoped there was some other explanation and didn’t want to believe that it was a basically a pooping piece of poop
