bat guano
Cavern floor waste
Bat guano is the accumulated excrement of bats, historically valued as a potent fertilizer due to its high nitrogen and phosphate content.
It was once so commercially important that nations fought over guano-rich islands.
The term sometimes appears in the expression batshit crazy or simply batshit, an intensifier suggesting extreme irrationality, though guano itself sounds more refined than its cruder synonym.
