Weird stuff tends to be said either in my house or around me in general, and lucky you get to have this shared with you.

Cloaca

  I’m in the kitchen baking with a vet show on in the background, and K is in the living room. Our house is a weird, one heat source, Alaska kind of house, which effectively means you can talk to anyone in the living room from all other rooms in the house. I suppose you could call it an “open floor plan” but really it’s just a way to heat the whole house from only one point in said house. 

     I’m not actively watching the tv, but I am aware of what’s happening, so from the kitchen, someone sings one word…

     “Cloaca”

     “Did you just sing cloaca?” Comes from the living room, one never knows when K will be listening.

     “Uh, Noooo. Why would anyone sing cloaca?” Trying to sound convincing, but really, it’s not fooling anyone. If you asked anyone I know decently well if they knew anyone likely to do such a thing... I’m pretty sure they would give you my name.

     What? You don’t know anyone that would sing the name for a single hole certain animals do everything from? That’s damn sad! 

     Technically it’s just one hole that you can see, I believe. If you opened a chicken’s cloaca, you would find two more holes, one for eggs and one for waste. You learn all kinds of weird things when you get chickens.
