Void Yesterday, while minding my own business, a group of Germans asked me to define the word “void.”
Try defining it to a group of Germans—my first instinct was to say it was nothing, which of course it’s not since it is the absence of something. Fortunately a German speaker who could define the word in German came to my rescue.

You could have grossed them out and used a different definition of void.
Verb: To excrete (body wastes).
You managed to find a more disgusting definition, that’s for sure. However, I don’t think it applied… and it didn’t come to mind when I was asked the question.
