| Bible | 1: Dung (1.) Used as manure (Luke 13:8); collected outside the city walls (Neh. 2:13). Of sacrifices, burned outside the camp (Ex. 29:14; Lev. 4:11; 8:17; Num. 19:5). To be "cast out as dung," a figurative expression (1 Kings 14:10; 2 Kings 9:37; Jer. 8:2; Ps. 18:42), meaning to be rejected as unprofitable. (2.) Used as fuel, a substitute for firewood, which was with difficulty procured in Syria, Arabia, and Egypt (Ezek. 4:12-15), where cows' and camels' dung is used to the present day for this purpose. Source: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary. | 2: The uses of dung were two-fold --as manure and as fuel. The manure consisted either of straw steeped in liquid manure, (Isaiah 25:10) or the sweepings, (Isaiah 5:25) of the streets and roads, which were carefully removed from about the houses, and collected in heaps outside the walls of the towns at fixed spots --hence the dung-gate at Jerusalem --and thence removed in due course to the fields. The difficulty of procuring fuel in Syria, Arabia and Egypt has made dung in all ages valuable as a substitute. It was probably used for heating ovens and for baking cakes, (Ezra 4:12,15) the equable heat which it produced adapting it peculiarly for the latter operation. Cow’s and camels dung is still used for a similar purpose by the Bedouins. (references) | |

| Psychotic Reactions and Carburetor Dung | Psychotic Reactions and Carburetor Dung was a 1971 essay by Lester Bangs, later collected in a book of the same name (ISBN 0679720456). The essay, which talks about what would usually today be called garage rock, contains the phrase, ...punk bands started cropping up who were writing their own songs but taking the Yardbirds' sound. This is believed one of the first uses of the word punk to refer to a type of rock music. A large section of the essay is concerned with the imagined long career of the garage band The Count Five, after their hit Psychotic Reaction, In fact, the band split after one album, and their other records are entirely a product of Bangs' imagination.
