Aliasing coprophagia -> eating_shit.

Reason: They both mean the same thing. Coprophagia is the more appropriate term and has a wiki page, but eating_shit has more uses. I'm not really partial to one over the other, but they should probably be aliased and the wiki updated if necessary.

Reason: They mean the same thing and would be an easy shortcut, since coprophagia means to eat shit.

I'd suggest implicating coprophagia to scat too.

Can "coprophagia" be used as an insult? Like when someone says to you "yo momma has a big ass!!" and you say "coprophagia" to them!

*Wipe that eating_shit grin off your face?*

And it obviously never went anywhere, because neither is aliased to the other. So here we are, having the discussion again.

You could just bump the older thread, y'know?

The older thread was in favor of one tag over the other due to usage statistics, which have since changed. I felt it better to start the discussion fresh with a more even balance between the two tags.

I just want to state again that I'm not particularly in favor of one tag over the other, so long as we reach a consensus and alias one to the other.

The alias should really be the other way around. Coprophagia it's the proper term and sound way better than "eating_shit".

Coprophage and perish, says newly-literate Sir Nukem, Duke of Titland.

But seriously, don't we usually follow more "rational" terms as our base tags?

Which one do you consider more rational? Coprophagia is more technical and professional, but eating_shit is pretty straight and to the point; you can't really misunderstand what that tag is used to represent.

And yet we're using tags like heterochromia not multi-color_eyes

I asked him which he considered more rational because he wasn't specific in his original post, not because I disagreed with him on anything.

I'd rather it go the other way.. but you know what evs. It's not like we are trying to be politically correct here.

You should have said something while the discussion was taking place, then. :I

I didn't think I had to explain this - it's the same rationality that's kept us from aliasing "scat" and "faeces" to "Shit."

Then we should alias eating_shit to coprophagia. Personally that's what I'd prefer anyway.
