Sure, it's fun to dog on the senile old coot though we have to remember exactly that : he is old. Old people use terms, phrases, and colloquialisms that weren't adopted by younger generations.
I personally think this is more likely than any other explanation though acknowledge the possibility he was proud his pants were no longer poopy.
I'm pretty sure even the simplest of sayings have been mumbled and fumbled time and time again. Nobody is questioning his lack of mental faculties here.
