Scat: an invocation from my childhood intended to somehow convey to the targeted critter that it should begone - intent and result not necessarily synchronous. Later, a descriptive term, designating fecal deposition typically reserved for species identification or tracking, see "spore". More recently, describing the artistic endeavors of one Benjamin Sherman "Scatman" Crothers, and Ella Fitzgerald, for the edification of the chosen, excluding the unworthy or otherwise culturally encumbered. Retroactively (to an extraordinary degree) descriptive, fecally speaking, of the pre-fossilization of dinosaur bowel movement events, post fosillizationally referred to as coprolites. Luster enhancement of the presumed artifact or process in any of the above categories contingent on factors that couldn't possibly be sorted out in one lifetime, however large, august, or well funded the committee.
