Look up the phrase 'diamond pure' sometime. It's the technical term for dog shit that's turned white in the sun. Used to be used a lot for tanning fine leather for bookbinding and gloves. Back in my grandparents day kids could earn pocket money gathering it off the street and selling it to the tanneries. Those 'pure' t shirts still give me quiet giggles.
