DopDaq qul yIchenmoH QobDI' ghu'. Not a good start... thanks, Voragh. {{:S

Another good suggestion.
>{yIb} "vent"
This term is even used in English: in biology, the length of a frog's or
toad's body is typically given as "snout to vent", i.e. from the tip of the
nose to the... er... vent. {{;)
Other possible slangy words you may be able to play around with include
{chImmoH} "empty (out), cause to be empty" and {qeD} "vacate".
Savan.
