There is always a funny side and the plumber was not looking forward to telling me, as he assumed I would blame him
. He telephoned me from the basement of the house, I was directly above him and he 'comforted' me with the knowledge that the fact we had no water was 'doing his head in too'. What a relief!!!!!Anyway,, I came home during the day on day 2, I was in the house for about 5 minutes and Flearoy said to me 'Dad, I think you have stood in dog s hit.' I had. It was all over the hall, stairs, bathroom and dining room. I started to clean it up using a dry newspaper, eventually I got dog s hit on my right hand. There was no water to remove it.
Now I may be lingually or articulately stunted? I'm sure I am. However, if I was Joseph Heller I would struggle to come up with a more appropriate or definitive word to describe what was on my shoe and all over the house? It was S hit and that is how I will refer to it as I bore people with the story in Years to come. S hit summed up the mood of the occassion and descrptively is unassailable. IMHO
If you have taken the time to read this? Then please do me a favour and vote. If you vote Yes then I would appreciate if you could provide a better word to describe the S hit. When I say better, I mean a word that is better descriptively and also acceptable to the listener, a word that doesn't make you sound like a pompous pedant. Be honest.
