When I was a teacher I received an absence note from a parent explaining that their child had been away from school suffering from a "dire rear". I think this should be adopted as the official spelling of this unpleasant condition!

Basically, an easy way to remember is diarrhoea of the nose ‘rhinorrhea’.

Soleil Quizzer, No, you didn't! Be honest. The "dire rear" is a quote from Richard Lederer's hilarious book, "Anguished English" - the chapter on school excuse notes. VERY funny tome, published about 40 years ago.

Rifqi Zafran, wait what? Are you trying to brag about going to medical school? Also, why would you use capital 'i's instead of 'l's in "You'll"? 😂

JoJo, Had transphenoidal ( through the nose) surgery and was told if I had a very runny nose with a thin clear liquid , I SHOULD GET TO CASUALTY. As it could be CSF- Cerebrospinal Fluid. Fortunately the situation did not arise.

I just assumed because diarrhoea ends similarly and I summarise that with the runs because I have to run to the toilet
