Why is a turd called a stool as you can't sit on it ?

I don't know why but here is some very useful information

The Bristol Stool Scale or Bristol Stool Chart is a medical aid designed to classify the feces form into seven groups. It was developed by Heaton and Lewis at the University of Bristol and was first published in the Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology in 1997. The form of the stool depends on the time it spends in the colon.

The seven types of stool are:

Type 1: Separate hard lumps, like nuts (hard to pass)

Type 2: Sausage-shaped, but lumpy

Type 3: Like a sausage but with cracks on its surface

Type 4: Like a sausage or snake, smooth and soft

Type 5: Soft blobs with clear cut edges (passed easily)

Type 6: Fluffy pieces with ragged edges, a mushy stool

Type 7: Watery, no solid pieces (entirely liquid)

Types 1 and 2 indicate constipation

Types 3 and (especially) 4 are the preferred types of stools as

they are the easiest to pass.

Types 5-7 are more symptomatic of diarrhoea.

Ironically, United Bristol Healthcare NHS Trust and North Bristol NHS Trust—the largest NHS trusts in Bristol—do not use the Bristol Stool Scale.

Turds are called stools because in the medieval times rich people had something like a commode but they called it a stool. So when they took a dump they just called it a stool. If I remember rightly they called the servant the master of the stool he was the "lucky" guy who got to wipe the rich buggers butt, too. It's also where the term privy chamber came from, which is still used in parliamentary terms now.

Originally, a "stool" was what we "now" call a toilet bowl. And why some people call a turd a stool, I have no idea.

He sounds disgusting! a chum of mine employed somebody like that because of the fact he felt sorry for him. regardless of if, because of the fact he replaced into fat and lazy he replaced into quickly lacking approximately 2 days a week of artwork and continually called in with the excuse his motor vehicle does no longer initiate. (He lived 2 blocks from artwork!) while my pal tried to fireside him, he replaced into accused of discrimination against the obese. as though weight problems have been an ailment and not a failure to look after oneself correct! there is in all probability no longer something you're able to do. The fat and lazy are an limitless majority in usa.
