Taking a shit
Can someone please explain to me why the act of defecation is called taking a shit and not leaving a shit?
Why is it "what" here instead of "why"? Are both "why" and "what" acceptable here?

Can v2 still be done in English by using the do support
So, instead of saying "At night, I eat sweets", If "v2" was used it'd be "At night do I eat sweets. " This is just an Idea that came to mind. Thank you.
Does "person" equal "individual" ?
Tom is a talkative person. Tom is a talkative individual. Do both sentences sound natural?
A question I had 8 years ago
Eight years ago I was puzzled by this title when reading magazines, tho later I knew it’s probably just an inverted sentence but I’m still curious about why it’s used and how rare or common such inversion is. Thanks!
is there a way of not getting confused with these body parts?
well, let me explain first before you think i’m too dumb: i know it’s obvious that forehead is on the head and foreskin is down there, but both have a head and a lot of times i say foreskin meaning forehead. the same happens with cheeks and buttcheeks. obviously buttcheeks are not on the face, but i still manage to say it super often and it’s just so embarrassing. it happens with ankle, uncle and knuckle too. sometimes i say “uncle” when i mean ankle or knuckle, or ankle when i mean knuckle, and vice versa. i’m 28 already, i should have learnt it by now
Is it "Lunar New Year" or "Lunisolar New Year"?
As the title says, I once saw a comment confirming that Lunisolar is the right term since we are using Lunisolar calendar.
Pronunciation difference between "RANT" and "RENT"
Hello, y'all. Is my pronunciation understandable or do I make some mistakes? (Most of the time when I meet any of these words, I don't hear the clear difference and understand only because of the context which one is used) [https://voca.ro/15bf1h0W5P4Q](https://voca.ro/15bf1h0W5P4Q)

Which is a better response to “How are you”?
I’ve used both of these and they both kinda seem right but I’m not sure. If someone says “How are you” does “I’m good, how about yourself” or I’m good, what about yourself” make more sense?
