    Default skied row confusion

    Ok, I feel compulsive need to ask this question. So, is there special word for traces of fecal matter people leave on their undergarment when thay fail to use toilet paper properly? I watched Sex and the city last night and it sounded like "skid row" but I checked it out and skid row means something entirely different....

    I've heard it called "skid marks." (Skid marks are literally the dark lines left on the road by a car if you hit the brakes very hard and suddenly and make the tires squeal.)

    Glad to be of help.


    (Oh dear, Mom would certainly be proud that I was able to answer a toilet-related question... )
