Many phrases for defecating use the word “take”. It makes no sense to me

    I see that… but I would argue breaks can be given. Therefore one can take a break.

    Break being almost a non continuation of something. There are two beings involved. And as you point out, you can also perform action consume a break.

    Taking a poop is slightly different because one is giving an offering. Although one can consume poop too but I guess it’s a different frame.

        Correct, but a different context than OP’s framing.

        Some leave a shit, some give a shit. Can you give a shit by giving a shit? Hmm. Possible maybe under special circumstances.

        Don’t mind me, these are poopy thoughts.
