The body's exit review of everything you just ate.
means Solid waste expelled from the digestive tract after everything useful has been absorbed.
from From Latin faeces, the plural of faex meaning 'dregs' or 'sediment' — the same word used for the gunk left at the bottom of a wine cask. English borrowed it in the 1600s as a clinical-sounding term, polite enough for anatomy books, keeping that core sense of 'what settles out at the bottom once the good stuff's been taken.'
