   disjecta membra  is an interesting expression   
                           because it reminds me of that old myth

                      in this case, it's not bothering me,   
                       but pls make a note of it, when my thread   
                          is trashed with insipid and/or uninteresting   
                            irrelevant  comment (e.g., from  ACB)   
      
      
   German: Durchfall (de) m, (informal) Dünnschiss (de) m, Diarrhö (de) f,   
   Diarrhoe (de)

   Cantonese: 肚屙 (tou5 o1)   
   Mandarin: 腹瀉/腹泻 (zh) (fùxiè), 下痢 (zh) (xiàlì), (colloquial)   
   拉肚子 (zh)   
   (lādùzi)   
      
      
   痢 alone must mean  [diarrhea],   
                      and 下痢  is more specific (with possible redundancy)
