See pooping. No, seriously. There's a real usage there unaffiliated with evacuation of any type.

Here it is, eliminating (ha!) the necessity (ha ha!) of having to click on that filthy word:
"Pooping, or, A Pooping Sea, implies the breaking of the sea over the taffrail on the poop deck. When the sea is so turbulent as to break in the stern-sashes, &c. it is also called a pooping sea."
—Falconer's New Universal Dictionary of the Marine (1816), 350
I'm not making this up.
