  • Correct, wschoenh, and here's where I found it -

    Shenstone put his head round the door.

    'Hello, Jack!' he said cheerfully. 'Want to hear the results of the vacuumings I took from the carpet at Grimm's Road?'

    'Sure.'

    'In a word, it's shit.'

    'The case? I don't need you to tell me that.'

    'No, the vacuumings. It's bird shit.'

    'Bird shit?'

    'Shit of birds, sir.'

    From 'The Big Over Easy' by Jasper Fforde.
