I want a word to refer to words and names collectively, and a word to refer to peeing and pooping collectively (not “relieving yourself” since that is disgusting)

      I work outdoors, often in remote locations. Phrases I have used:

      • Make friends with a tree.
      • Speak with a tree/have a conversation with a tree.
      • Commune with the bushes.
      • Wander over this way alone.

      My field partner often speaks of watering or fertilizing the forest, which I find distasteful because it gives a sense of which act they’re performing and I really don’t need to know that about my boss.
