Every year I read T.H. White’s magnificent retelling of the Arthurian epic The Once and Future King, then I resolve to look up fewmets and never get around to it. Fortunately a reader put the question to The Straight Dope and I am now enlightened.
So fewmets are to deer as tath is to cattle, spraints to otters, crotiles to hares and billitting to foxes. We’re talking about animal droppings; they have specific names. Bonus words you can use in business meetings: jumentous (smells like horse urine) and shardborn (born in dung).
