Ben means shit

So this is going to be a short post since I have tons of tax-related stuff to do. But I was told over a month ago that 'ben' in Japanese means 'shit.' I cant remember if I wrote about this already but I have new information. So I guess 'daiben' is 'big shit' as well, which is cool I suppose. I could be 'big shit' but maybe not 'shit.'

The other day while I was waiting for a hella-delayed train I met a New Zealander, Rachel, who told me that 'benpi' is what the Japanese use for 'constipation,' but that actual term means 'mystery poop.' How awesome is that? The word they use for constipation literally means 'mystery poop.'
