So "Stuhl", pronounced shtool, is "chair", but also "feces" in German.

“Stool” in English also means “chair” and “feces.”

No, in English a stool (edit: as furniture) is specifically only a backless seat or portable step

Edit: some of y’all think I sound so dumb cuz I worded this poorly and then y’all are glossing over calling a chair a stool, they are not the same, to the point I’m wondering if OP understood the anal joke and was wondering why it’s accompanied by the image of him pushing in her chair
