WHAT DOES TOILET HUMOUR MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Toilet humour

Toilet humor, or scatological humor, is a type of off-color humor dealing with defecation, urination, and flatulence, and to a lesser extent vomiting and other body functions. It sees substantial crossover with sexual humor, such as penis jokes. Toilet humor is popular among a wide range of ages, but is especially popular with children and teenagers, for whom cultural taboos related to acknowledgement of waste excretion still have a degree of novelty. The humor comes from the rejection of such taboos, and is a part of modern culture. Examples can also be found in earlier literature, including The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer.
