How to Say “I Eat Poop” in French

By •
je mange du caca
In French, 'I eat poop' is said as je mange du caca.
This phrase is used to make a statement that the speaker consumes excrement.

Which one should you use?

Je mange des excréments is the formal version, whereas Je mange de la merde is an informal way to say 'I eat shit'.

Did you know?

  • The word caca comes from the Latin verb cacāre, which means 'to defecate' or 'to shit'.
  • While caca is used for 'poop' in this phrase, it is also the primary word French parents use when potty training toddlers.
  • If you were to use the formal je mange des excréments in a casual setting, it would sound unnaturally clinical, almost like a medical report.

Examples in context

  • C'est vrai, je mange du caca.
    It is true, I eat poop.
  • Pourquoi dis-tu que je mange du caca ?
    Why do you say that I eat poop?
