road apple
Equine street deposit
Road apple is informal for a piece of horse manure found on a road or path.
The term plays on the round shape and the unexpected "gift" left behind: Watch your step—there are road apples all over this trail.
Sometimes used figuratively for anything unwanted left in one's path.
