- SynonymふんNeutralThe same kanji read 「ふん」: a neutral noun for animal droppings, as in 「鳥の糞」 — matter-of-fact, not a curse like 「くそ」.
- SynonymウンチCasualColloquial 'poo': originally baby talk but now common in everyday speech, with a cute, childlike flavor 「くそ」 lacks.
- Synonym大便だいべんWrittenA written, clinical word for feces, as in 「大便検査」 — leans medical and formal, unlike colloquial 「くそ」.
- SynonymうんこCasualA childish colloquial word for poop; slightly less vulgar than 「くそ」.
- Related野郎やろうCasualColloquial name-calling for a guy or bastard; it insults people, while 「くそ」 also works as an exclamation like 'damn'.
Use 「糞(くそ)」 for feces or as an angry exclamation like 'damn', as in 「くそっ」「下手くそ」. Animal droppings take 「糞(ふん)」; formally or medically say 「大便」; in casual speech 「うんち」「うんこ」 work; call someone a bastard with 「野郎」.
