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)

If anyone is interested, you can call food and drink collectively “victuals”. That’s another one I was looking for.
“Refreshments” sounds more natural.
I guess it does, but it also seems to imply a small snack or small drink rather than being able to refer to meals and drinks of any size…
I honestly don’t think of drinks when I hear someone say “victuals”, just food. Also, if the word is new to you, be warned that the C and U are silent; it sounds like vit•tulz when spoken aloud.
“Victuals” is the source of the term “vittles”, if you’re feeling particularly folksy.
Brilliant! Thanks
