    Is that “Iced belly wash” as in having one’s belly washed with ice water, or “Iced belly wash” as in having icing spread on one’s belly then getting it washed off by a stranger? Frankly, neither of those possibilities appeals much. I think I’ll take the harsh browns.

  2. Droll not Troll says:

    Well, slap mah fro-zen belly!

  3. Brad F. says:

    “belly wash” is slang, but it’s used properly here.

    bel•ly-wash

    Pronunciation: (bel’ē-wosh”, -wôsh”), [key]
    —n. Slang.
    any barely drinkable liquid or beverage, as inferior soda, beer, coffee, or soup.

  4. keithybabes says:

    It comes in stlaw-belly, lasp-belly and rogan-belly fravours. Rovery!

  5. cobrasnakenecktie says:

    this isnt engrish, it may sound pretty funny, but its actually pretty common slang even in america.

  6. Miki says:

    Not quite as Engrish as one might think.

    There was (and may still be for all I know) a brand of bottled drinks called ‘Belly Washers’. Basically heavily sugared flavored water.

    The marketing ploy used was that the bottles were topped with the heads of various popular cartoon characters, such as Powerpuff Girls, Scooby-Do and… *twitch*twitch*shudder*.. Hello Kitty.

    (Yes. I know that HK is anime and not a cartoon, so let’s not start that tired old argument, mmkay? Thanks.) XD

    Iced belly-wash goes well after a day of eating horse shoe crap with pineapple.

    • BAW says:

      I’d understand ‘horse shoe crap.’ ‘p’ and ‘b’ are essentially the same sound, just one voiced and the other unvoiced. Hence, it would be easily to mistranscribe ‘crab’ as ‘crap.’ I never knew that horseshoe crabs were edibile, but I’ll take your word for it.

  8. Yosh says:

    Those of us who have had to prep the night before a colonoscopy know that belly-wash tastes much better than room-temp belly-wash.

    • Yosh says:

      Oops! I meant iced belly-wash tastes better.

      • eeee says:

        *snerk* So they say. I had one a few years ago, I was only able to keep about 4 ounces of the solution down. I forced myself to drink about 1/8th the gallon (16 oz) but after the first couple of swallows I was throwing it up almost as quickly as I could get it down. I tried icing it, drinking it like a shot of liquor, holding my nose, sipping through a straw, adding lemon juice/peppermint extract to it, diluting it with water, everything I could think of. It was horrible.

        I just don’t understand why the stuff is so nasty – it doesn’t *taste* of anything! It’s got like an anti-taste or something, a complete void where any taste would/should be… but my GOD is it vile.

        I thought for sure I was going to get to the surgery suite the next morning and they’d tell me I didn’t get a good enough ‘clean-out,’ and would make me do it over again. Fortunately I somehow managed to have achieved a ‘perfect’ result, but boy am I dreading having to do it all again next year.

        • Yosh says:

          I have to have one every 2 years, so I know what you’re talking about. I add the flavor packets to the powder before adding hot tap water and vigorously shake it to mix. This is why the instructions say to make it the day before and refrigerate.
          It tastes like really salty Gatorade when done properly. The chemical composition is very similar to antifreeze, so that explains why it’s so difficult to hold down.
          If it looks like urine coming out, you’re fine. Plus, they are starting to use 1/2 gallon bottles now plus a few laxative pills.

          • //Ann says:

            I dunno. The stuff I get for colonoscopies is halfway palatable, and way less than a gallon – a quart, maybe? Gotta love progress! (Although I cherish the 1st 1-2 of hubby’s colonoscopies and the name of the brew he got – “GoLytely” – spare me! I think that might be what y’all are talking about?)

            • Yosh says:

              That’s what I had the first two procedures, then COLytely (GoLytely with laxative pills).
              Beats the heck out of an enema, though.

              • eeee says:

                LOL Not for me. At least with an enema it’s over pretty quickly, and all the unpleasantness is centralized in one part of the body.

                Any minute now someone is going to freak out and call down the TMI police, so I shall bow out ahead of the outcry…

            • eeee says:

              GoLytely, yes! What a complete and utter misnomer.

              A friend recently had one; she had a several pills, a small bottle of lemony liquid (mag-cit, maybe? I can handle that stuff pretty well), and an enema. She was upset about that last; I told her that while it’s certainly not the most fun she’ll have this month, it’s WAY better than the Gallon-o-Gag.

          • eeee says:

            I didn’t know that about the antifreeze similarity thing – interesting.

            I had two (heavy duty) pills, and they told me to buy two bottles of mag-cit. I was to use that stuff two days before, then the gallon of junk the day prior. I’d had myself on a near-liquid diet for the better part of the week anyway, so that probably helped.

            I didn’t get any flavor packets with mine, though. I had refrigerated it and done everything else they way they said to, but it was still awful. At one point I put it in the freezer until it got slushy and tried to drink that – didn’t help. By that point, though, it was more like “water in, water out” so I just quit trying.

        • Anna Rexia says:

          They seem to change the preparatory procedures often. I’ve had one, my brother has had two and I’ve had to take our mother to a few of them and it seems that each time, the prep gets easier. I never had to drink the gallon of stuff, but what I did have to drink made me throw up later.

          How did we get on this subject? Oh yeah. The sugar water stuff. Two popsicles, please!

  9. Dumbassbuffet says:

    i remember there used to be a drink called a belly wash… or something like that… it was a fruit juice that wasn’t very sweet, and had cartoon character’s heads for caps. you bought it at the store in a 500 ml bottle

  10. Kalla says:
