pet waste
Backyard cleanup target
Pet waste is feces and urine from domestic animals, particularly dogs and cats.
The term appears on signs in parks and residential areas reminding owners to clean up after their pets: Please dispose of pet waste properly.
It's a euphemism that sounds more sanitary than what it describes.
