Well known for his scatological tropes is the late medieval fictional character of Till Eulenspiegel. It is used to describe works that make particular reference to excretion or excrement, as well as to toilet humor. In literature, 'scatological' is a term to denote the literary trope of the grotesque body. Entire subcultures in sexuality are devoted to this fetish. In sexual fetishism, scatology (usually abbreviated scat) refers to coprophilia, when a being is sexually aroused by fecal matter, whether in the use of feces in various sexual acts, watching someone defecating, or simply seeing the feces. In psychology, a scatology is an obsession with excretion or excrement, or the study of such obsessions. The word derives from the Greek σκῶρ ( GEN σκατός) meaning 'dung, feces' coprology derives from the Greek κόπρος of similar meaning.
