skidmark

Brake-induced stripe

A skidmark is a dark streak left by a tire sliding across pavement, typically from hard braking: The skidmarks showed where he'd tried to stop.

By extension, skidmark refers to a brown stain left in underwear from inadequate wiping—crude but common slang: Check your shorts for skidmarks.
