How it's used
This idiomatic expression literally describes the small, pellet-like droppings of a goat. It is used exclusively to describe the physical sensation of passing hard, dry, or insufficient stool. It carries a slightly humorous or informal tone, making it suitable for casual conversation with friends or family but inappropriate for formal or medical settings.
Examples
Are you constipated? You have been in there for an hour.
Related words
Common mistake
Do not use this to describe general stomach pain or diarrhea. It specifically refers to the difficulty of passing hard, small stools, not just any digestive discomfort.
