At home it would be more accurate to say you sent a poop. You didn't take a poop. Where are you taking it? And why?

But that's not actually true if you fly on an airline. Because you DO take your poop to your destination. Same thing on things like cruise ships. Oh, I guess also RVs and those buses that have bathrooms. Oh, and trains.

Ok, now I'm trying to think if I missed any....

    I've always wondered why Americans "take" things so much. "Take a shit", "take a shower", "take a look"

    You "go for" or "have" those things in OG English.

    Take = to make something yours

    Have = something you already possess

    I'm going to have a shower

    I'm going to take a shower

    Both describe in some capacity making the shower yours.

    Take a shit

    Have a shit

    Here shit is actually acting as a verb like shower, not a noun

    Take a look

    Have a look

    Again both describing a action that you personally doing, just different styles of the same construction

    Unrelated somewhat, but one similar swedish expression is "ta en titt" (literally "take a look", not "grab a boob"). But then the swedes also have "Slutstation" ("End station" in public traffic) and "Utfart" ("drive out").

    I would argue that the only time you are NOT taking a poop, is when you are pooping. At any other time you are taking all of your poop with you.

    You take it from wherever you are to the toilet.

    Also on a less pedantic note, sometimes doctors will have you collect a home stool sample and take it to them.

    Since you have poop inside you, your always taking it somewhere. Unless you've just had a colonic irrigation.

    I’m not taking the poop with me. From my inertial reference frame, I’m sending my departure point on Earth away from me.
