Participants self-reported how often they dropped the kids off at the pool , and the researchers organized them into four categories: constipation for those reporting one or two bowel movements per week; low-normal for three to six movements per week; high-normal for one to three movements per day; and diarrhea for four or more watery stools per day.

Is 'dropping the kids off at the pool' a real euphemism for pooping?

Yep. And if there's no water then it's "dropping off the kids at the skate park."

I'm stealing this phrase for the next time I poop in the display toilet in the store
