I don't mean what you use to chop down your feces, but an object that you realized only your family has and people would raise their eyebrows at. Best if said object has a sole purpose.

In case you are unaware, "poop knife" was a reddit r/confession post from a few years back that went viral, where someone admitted their family has a knife kept in the house specifically for when big 'movements' wouldn't flush, and he had just discovered that wasn't a normal thing everyone just has at home when he needed flush assistance at a friends house.

I may know the poop knife family, unless there are 2 of them.

I am aware of a poop knife being used in north Houston.

Oh boy, why does this make me uncomfortable to know there are more than one poop knife families.

The original story may have created some copycats?

Ancient story on my part, I forgot about it since I was a kid. A huge family and the most of the family was not petite which I thought was hilarious at the time. I think they had 10 kids with one bathroom, it was probably a necessity.

You ever read the cumbox guy's piece? That guy was understated comedy gold.
