Would that be scatological or Eschatological?

Escatos, h, on 

 

or, eschatos, e', on for a transliteration, not to be confused with a translation, which would be along the lines of "the furthest, uttermost, extreme."   Nevermind the "utter-most" but definitely extreme in the household in which I was raised.  But apparently no longer extreme in today's households...
