@sayitrightwithbolaji: When Nigerians say, “I’ve been purging since morning,” they usually mean they’ve been having frequent, loose or watery bowel movements. In standard English, the right word to use is "diarrhoea". You can say: “I’ve had diarrhoea since this morning.” ✅ or “I’ve been having diarrhoea since this morning.” ✅ “Purging” can have other meanings, including a bowel-related meaning, but it isn’t the usual word for describing diarrhoea in everyday English.
