dung
When used as a noun, "dung" is typically an uncountable noun. You would say "there is some dung" rather than "there are dungs." While the word describes animal waste, it is generally more technical or agricultural than words like "poop" (informal) or "excrement" (formal). As a verb, it is most commonly used in farming contexts. It is less common in everyday conversation compared to its use as a noun.

Yo, my boots are totally caked in dung from that walk. Any tips?

Try washing them. Or just toss 'em and get a grip.
💡
Mark uses the slang 'totally caked' to describe his boots being covered in animal waste. Brian responds with his typical grumpy demeanor, using the idiom 'get a grip' to tell Mark to stop complaining and be more sensible.
