When your body ghosts you but keeps the receipts.
means A condition where bowel movements become infrequent or difficult, usually because stool is moving too slowly through the intestines.
from From Latin 'constipare' — 'to crowd together, press tightly,' built from 'com-' (together) and 'stipare' (to pack, stuff). The word originally described any kind of crowding or compacting, and only later narrowed to its current, more personal meaning — your insides, packed a little too tightly together.
