I want a word to refer to words and names collectively, and a word to refer to peeing and pooping collectively (not "relieving yourself" since that is disgusting)

Language: covers words and names

Peeing and pooping: https://www.thesaurus.com/browse/defecate

Excrete is pretty good as your collective word https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/excrete

    But you couldn't say "Bob" and "throw" are both "languages". You can't say both are words either... (can you?) They're a name and a word, respectively. Is there another term perhaps for either a word/name (rather than a general concept for what they're part of)?
