In Mexico it's called Montezuma's Revenge. In Bali it's called Bali Belly. What other colloquialisms for gastroenteritis are there around the world? (lemmy.world)

I like the actual German name for it, "durchfall". When I look in the toilet, it looks like something that would be called "durch". And yep, it fell right outta me lol

German here, durch means through. As in it fell through your intestines. At least that has always been my interpretation

Everyone in the UK of a certain age knows what durch means because of Audi

Durch Audi is a much worse slogan than Das Auto

The Slogan is "Vorsprung durch Technik" - advantage through technology
