What does 곧은창자 mean?

ANSWER: rectum

The Korean word for rectum is either 곧은창자 or 직장(直腸), and both words literally mean straight (直) intestine (腸). The rectum is the last and relatively straight section of the large intestine. The word 곧은창자 is also jokingly used to refer to someone who goes to the toilet right after eating, suggesting that the person's intestines is just a rectum, straight from the stomach to the exit.
