How it's used
This is a very informal and slightly crude way to refer to defecation. It is typically used among friends or peers and should be avoided in formal settings or when speaking to superiors. The term carries a blunt, humorous tone that makes it sound less clinical than other expressions.
Examples
My stomach hurts, I need to go to the toilet to take a dump.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with the literal meaning of 擺, which is to place or arrange. Using this in a polite or professional context will sound highly inappropriate and vulgar.
