I prefer "Heifer Dust."

For the two people who haven't heard it, a (probably fake) garden tale:

Harry Truman was looking out a White House window one fine spring day and
remarked, "Looks like it's time to get the gardeners to spread some manure
on the lawns."
Daughter: "Mommy, can't you get him to say 'fertilizer?' "
Bess: "Honey, it's taken me twenty years to get him to say 'manure!' "
