Learn English – Verbs for describing the action of defecating

Is there any verb for describing the action of making shit?

I think making shit could be a possible option, but I have never seen it used.

I would like to confirm my assumption and to know other options. As a foreign learner, it is not likely I'll learn these kinds of expressions from textbooks. I know poo is similar, but poo should be a verb without an object. For example, pooing a shit may be incorrect because I have never seen it being used this way.

I know there is also another word beginning with d, but it is a formal and medical one while I seek a colloquial expression.

While Jim's answer here includes informal usage, I'd say in a more formal or delicate setting, you could use:

To answer nature's call
