Purge

Okay kiddo, so when we talk about "purge" it means to get rid of something completely. You know when you clean your room and you throw away all the broken toys or clothes that don't fit anymore? That's kind of like a purge.

Now, sometimes people use the word "purge" to talk about doing this with their body. Our body has a lot of waste and toxins that need to be removed so we can stay healthy. So when someone says they are doing a "purge," they might be talking about drinking a special juice or taking some medicine that helps their body get rid of all that waste and toxins.

But sometimes "purge" can also mean getting rid of something that's not waste, but maybe it's not good for you anymore. For example, if you have a lot of old clothes in your closet that you never wear, you might decide to purge them and donate them to someone who needs them more.

So, the bottom line is that "purge" means to get rid of something completely, whether it's waste in your body or old clothes in your closet. It's all about getting rid of things that you don't need anymore so you can feel better and have more space for the things that you do need.
