Origin
The term is formed from the colloquial observation that certain subjects, typically infants or domestic animals, appear to perform no function other than the continuous processing of nutrients into waste. It is a compounding of poop and machine, predicated on the view of the biological digestive system as a singular, repetitive mechanical process.
