This sounds like a joke, but we really do say that!
My dad used to say this. None of my family has ever even been to Pennsylvania to my knowledge though, lol
Same, I don't think this is a Pennsylvania-ism
I have heard it called that and I physically recoil every time I hear it.
And underwear streaks are referred to as Hershey Highways.
the older you get, the more frequent the highways
🎶life is a highwayyy, and I’m gonna ride it all night long🎶

Hershey PA contained by far the largest morbidly obese humans I've ever seen, like fascinating. All seats must be benches.
There's Dehli Belly as well. No alliteration, but it's got the rhyme.
I never liked the term Montezuma's Revenge. Moctezuma the Second was an accomplished leader and deserves more respect than to have his name misspelled with a diarrhea diagnosis.
That being said I got it right as I left Mexico from vacation and prayed for death to take me.
I like the idea that he's so powerful and vengeful that he's returning from the grave to fuck with Europeans
His name translates roughly "angry lord" or "lord he who frowns/grimace" so I like the idea he's just mean mugging the descendents of man until the end of time.
I totally agree with you on Moctezuma. Tourists ruin everything. Especially their own digestive tracts.
I wanted to go see Tenochtitlan and Teotihuacán. Worth it.

"Beaver Fever" is the occasional Canadianism I've heard, although its specifically for giardiasis.
That sounds utterly horrific for a vagina
It's probably a term used elsewhere too, but in the US Navy, when it's coming from both ends, especially stationed or deployed on ship, it's the double dragon. Ship food is bad. Ship food is rejected prison food. Moldy. Horrible. Absolute garbage. Garbage would probably be safer.
Is that what we call Beaver Belly in Canada? (from drinking contaminated water?)
I have heard "beaver fever"... but typing it out for the internet just makes it sound like a euphemism.
Yeah.
US here. When I was a kid in the early 70s, in the Midwest we called it Hershey Squirts.
Feces Pieces, Dookie Crisp, poop loops, tootie pebbles,
My mom taught me intestinal distress.
Rolls off the tongue.
I'm not here to kink shame but that's pretty gross

Not a place around the world but when I was growing up there was a restaurant called genghis grill and it was really good but we called the aftermath Kahn’s revenge
I do know that when you're walking down the hall, and you feel something fall, it's diarrhea. Uh uh! Diarrhea !
From Scotland and the family calls it "the runs".
The “stormy shits” in parts of Atlantic Canada.
I was in Bali talking to my Ballaniese mate who says he gets Aussie Belly haha
Yeah, so so many aussies on Bali on the south end around Nusa Dua/Kuta/Seminyak. I stay away from all that stuff.
The Havana Splatters
Explosive diarrhea is how I frequently excuse myself from events.
I like the actual German name for it, "durchfall". When I look in the toilet, it looks like something that would be called "durch". And yep, it fell right outta me lol
German here, durch means through. As in it fell through your intestines. At least that has always been my interpretation
Everyone in the UK of a certain age knows what durch means because of Audi

I think for a nice universal slogan we should rally...behind.... "Throwing soup"
Huh, I'd never heard of this meaning to Montezuma's Revenge. I was only familiar with the old video game.
Dirt Squirts
Every time I get it (like once every 2-3 years) for me it's never with diarrhea.
Just agonizing with a lot of vomits, fever, congestion, coughing, muscle pain etc.
Oof that's so much worse.
TIL a childhood game was a shitty joke I missed my whole life🤣
La tourista !
