- In Burmese, the word ချီး can also be used as a prefix to describe someone as extremely bad or low-quality, similar to how an English speaker might call something 'crap'.
- To avoid saying ချီး in polite company, Burmese speakers often use a euphemism like အညစ်အကြေး which literally means 'impurity'.
- There is a distinct difference in Burmese between 'poop' as a noun and the verb 'to poop', meaning the word ချီး cannot be used as an action without adding a helper verb.
