"scat" is polite farmer talk for s**t. :-)

Worked for a farm animal pharmacy for a while. They
used the word "scat" so much that the 12 year old
inside me actually stopped chuckling. "Did you
check their scat to see if ..."

I grew up on a small farm in SE Texas, even my grandmother called it
s**t. So there!

Just out of curiosity, did you get you mouth washed out with
soap if you said that word, be she could say it as much as she
wanted?

"Where did you hear that word ?!?!?" And please tell me you were
wish enough not to answer!

:-)




Nope, my paternal grandmother loved me, she just tut tutted, and shook
her finger at me. After all I was her eldest grandchild. G Just like
all my elders she used that word frequently. I never feared my
grandmother but was scared to death of my mother, she whacked me upside
my head with a ten inch cast iron skillet once for back talking her.
