number twos

Deputies in charge

Number twos is a childish or euphemistic term for defecation or feces, distinguishing it from urination (number ones).

The phrase appears most often in conversations with or about young children: Do you need to go number twos?

Adults sometimes use it humorously to avoid more direct terms.
