The rectum is an interesting place. You can apparently also absorb water there, if you are severely dehydrated and unable to hold anything down (eg seasick). All you need, the saying goes, is a funnel and a friend.. full disclosure: I've not tried that!

We're pouring liquids into our butts right? What's the friend for? Can't one do that on their own?

Why do people in this thread keep saying this?

Since you asked: Brett Kavanaugh implausibly claimed under oath that "boofing" was a reference to farting, but he perjured himself and lied to Congress on live television. So now we have a Supreme Court justice who ingested drugs through his butt hole, and lied about it by falsely claiming under oath that he was only farting.

I don’t think this is as clear fit as you are implying: https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/brett-kavanaugh-meanin...

Works for alcohol too; keyword "butt chug". Can result in alcohol poisoning if you dose too much.

Works for other drugs too, it's known as boofing.

> Works for other drugs too, it's known as boofing.

isn't that slang for anal sex

The latest season of The Expanse featured a character who had been exposed to vacuum revived by an injection of “hyperoxygenated blood” in the arm. This makes me think they just got the method of administration slightly wrong.

In the future spaceship air locks will include a box of emergency oxygen suppositories.

Nah, according to a current supreme court judge, to boof is simply to pass gas.
