うんこ

うんこ

Japanese

Noun

うんこ (romaji unko)

  1. (childish) poop, doo-doo (faeces, excrement)

Usage notes

An informal and somewhat childish word; compare the more formal 大便 (daiben).

While うんこ (unko) is sometimes given as a literal translation of English interjection ****! as an expression of displeasure, this is inaccurate, as unko! sounds more like someone saying “Oh turd!” or “Oh doo-doo!” in English. Rather, the vulgar くそ (kuso, ****, excrement) or the less vulgar ちぇ (che, onomatopoeic interjection of displeasure) may be used, while the most common expression of displeasure is しまった (shimatta, oops, uh-oh, usually when it is one's own fault).

Verb

うんこする (romaji unko suru)

  1. (childish) to poop, to ****
