Passants

Acute, intense, instantaneous and explosive diarrhea that manifests itself without warning. The word is derived from the utterance, “Oh Passant!” Upon the onset of this affliction.

“Is Jimmy coming to the game tonight?”
“No, I heard he has the passants so he’s staying home.
“That’s funny, he was fine a half hour ago. Must have been those hot dogs he ate.”
