The reason we say 'take a dump' is for the same reason we 'take' a vacation...in this situation, the nouns poop/dump are used to describe an activity occuring over a time, not the actual physical object itself. One is 'taking' the time to leave a poop in a bowl. Actually the use of the word dump really reflects how much we subconsciously understand this action, as one's a s s is dumping the a s s apples into the bowl. the word has simply been changed to a noun to denote the time spent during evactuation of the bowels.

I hate that expression and taking a pee too, no one takes it anywhere, it should be I have to or I am eliminating or something to that nature, but I guess we're too lazy to be gramatically correct.
