Carol dares to respond:
Ah. Britspeak again. I thought, erm, do I dare say this--that it had
to do with rolling dung of the variety produced by the dung beetle.
You're an entomologist, aren't you, or did I dream that up?

We Americans don't use "dung" to mean tobacco (and "fag" is an
impolite term for homosexual).

Mencken was right about two countries separated by a common language
(can't remember the exact quote).
